Overview
The first real tasty encounter of the 2023/24 Premier League season takes place at The Emirates on Sunday!
The North London Derby has always entertained and I expect this one to be no different with both sides looking entering once again this campaign. The last time we saw a 0-0 when these two met was back in 2009 – 33 Derby’s ago!!!
Both teams coming into this game on 13 points and unbeaten after late heroics in Tottenham’s recent outing. Strangely its Tottenham who have been more prolific infront of goal – even without departed star man Harry Kane.
Head to Head
Arsenal did the double over their rivals last season, but Tottenham had won 3 of the 5 previous to that. We have seen over 2.5 goals in 4 of the last 6 meetings!
Players to Watch
Son Heung-Min will want to lead his Tottenham side to victory in this one. The new Spurs captain managed a hattrick in against Burnley and could well lead the line for his side on Sunday.
Both Bukayo Saka and James Maddison have scored 2 and assisted 2 for their respective clubs and have been instrumental to their sides early success in this campaign.
My Bet365 Top Picks:
James Maddison Over 0.5 SoT – 10/11
