Arsenal will host Tottenham in a London derby at the Emirates Stadium in London on 26th September 2021 at 21:00 IST. Surprisingly the odds are in favor of Arsenal to win the match. But this could be a much closer encounter than the one suggested by the odds.

Teams Status

Arsenal

Arsenal are on the back of two back to back wins over Norwich City and Burnley in the Premier League. Before that, they had lost three matches in a row against Manchester City, Chelsea and Brentford. They are currently in the 13th position of the points table with six points from five matches. They are on level terms with Watford and Leicester City but behind them on goal difference. They have scored just two goals so far in the tournament and have conceded a massive nine goals. Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang and Martin Odegard have scored the two goals that Arsenal have scored this season. They have some injury concerns to Mohamed Elneny, Emile Smith-Rowe and Kieran Tierney as they are all doubtful for the London derby. Even Granit Xhaka will be missed as he is serving his suspension.

Tottenham

Tottenham on the other hand have won three matches and lost two matches so far in the Premier League and have accumulated nine points in the process. They started off with three back to back wins over Manchester City, Wolves and Watford. Then they lost two back to back matches against Crystal Palace and Chelsea. They have scored just three goals and have conceded six goals. Heung-Min Son is the team’s leading goal scorer with two goals from five matches. The other goal was scored by the Englishman Dele Alli. Nuno might consider making some changes to the playing XI that was outplayed by Chelsea and might consider fielding the strongest XI. They will be without the services of Steven Bergwijn, and also Ryan Sessegnon and Lucas Moura are also doubtful.

Tipster’s Angle

Despite Arsenal playing at home and coming into this fixture with a couple of back to back wins, Tottenham have a better record against them. Also, Tottenham are more likely to take something out of this clash. Also, this match is expected to be a low scorer.

Tip: Tottenham To Win or Draw @ 1.66

In the last ten head to head matches, Arsenal have won three matches, while Tottenham have won five matches and two of those matches ended in a draw. In the last nine matches that Arsenal has played across competitions, they have won three matches, drawn one match and lost five matches. Tottenham have won six matches, drawn two matches and lost two matches in the last ten matches that they have played across competitions. Tottenham have also won one match, drawn one match and lost one match in the last three matches that they have played on the road. So, it is very clear that Tottenham will at least pull off a draw at 1.66 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Tip: Both Teams To Score – No @ 1.95

In the last three head to head matches, Tottenham has kept clean sheets in two of those matches. In the last nine matches that Arsenal has played, they have seen both teams scoring in just two of those matches, while clean sheets were kept in the remaining nine matches. Tottenham on the other hand, have seen both teams not scoring in eight of the last ten matches that they have played across competitions. Both teams have kept a clean sheet in all the five matches that Tottenham has played in the Premier League this season. Even Arsenal have the same feat in the first five matches of the League. So, it is very likely that both teams will not score at 1.95 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

Tottenham slightly looks out of touch but this is the match that they can turn their fortunes around and they can hope for a top six finish if not the top four. Arsenal have started the turnaround with two back to back wins, but there is still a long way to go.
