The Matchday 12 Premier League encounter between Arsenal and Tottenham will take place on November 23 at the Emirates Stadium in London. Arsenal vs. Tottenham: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Arsenal
The Gunners continue to lead the championship confidently, but their advantage over the nearest rival has shrunk to 4 points. This happened after the team drew away with Sunderland (2-2). Although there was a chance to win, the Londoners conceded a goal in the 94th minute, ending a 5-match winning streak in the Premier League. It was also the first time since May that Mikel Arteta's side conceded more than one goal per game in the championship.
- Arsenal's unbeaten streak in the Premier League stands at 8 matches – 6 wins and 2 draws.
- At least one team has failed to score in 8 of Arsenal's last 11 Premier League games.
- The Londoners have conceded only 1 goal in their last 6 home Premier League matches.
Predicted lineup for Arsenal (4-3-3)
David Raya – Jurrien Timber, Gabriel Magalhaes, William Saliba, Riccardo Calafiori – Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze – Leandro Trossard, Mikel Merino, Bukayo Saka.
Forward Gabriel Jesus, midfielder Martin Odegaard, and defender Gabriel Magalhaes are injured. The participation of forwards Viktor Gyokeres, Kai Havertz, and Noni Madueke is in doubt.
Tottenham
The Londoners failed to capitalize on their home advantage in the last two rounds, collecting only 1 point. First, they lost 0-1 to Chelsea, and then drew 2-2 with Manchester United. Incidentally, there was a chance to beat the Red Devils, but Tottenham couldn't hold onto their lead, conceding a goal in the 96th minute. Consequently, the team dropped to fifth place, but they are only 1 point away from the Champions League zone.
- The club has not lost in 6 of their last 8 Premier League matches (3 wins and 3 draws).
- At least 3 goals have been scored in 6 of Tottenham's last 8 league games.
- The Londoners are unbeaten in their last five away Premier League matches (4 wins and 1 draw).
Predicted lineup for Tottenham (4-2-3-1)
Guglielmo Vicario – Kevin Danso, Djed Spence, Micky van de Ven, Pedro Porro – Joao Palhinha, Rodrigo Bentancur, Mohammed Kudus, Pape Sarr, Lucas Bergvall – Randal Kolo Muani.
Due to injuries, defenders Destiny Udogie, midfielder James Maddison, and Dejan Kulusevski are out. The participation of defenders Lucas Bergvall, Ben Davies, and Radu Dragusin, as well as forwards Randal Kolo Muani and Dominic Solanke, midfielders Pape Sarr and Yves Bissouma, is in doubt.

Match Prediction: Arsenal vs. Tottenham
The central match of the 12th round will be held in London. In this capital derby, neighbors who are in the top five of the championship will face off. Bookmakers clearly favor the hosts, offering very low odds on them. However, I do not recommend betting on a straightforward Arsenal win, as Tottenham is very strong away and has not lost in their last five away Premier League matches (4 wins and 1 draw).
I believe this derby will be high-scoring. Arsenal consistently scores at home, having done so in their last 11 home Premier League matches. Meanwhile, Thomas Frank's side has scored two or more goals in their last 5 away Premier League games. Additionally, the teams have scored at least 3 goals against each other in their last 7 encounters at the Emirates in the league.
My prediction – Total over 2.5 goals
