Arsenal welcome Spurs to the Emirates for another fiery North London derby, with the hosts strong favourites but the visitors more than capable of landing a punch on the break.
Mikel Arteta’s side should see plenty of the ball and pin Spurs back for long spells. With the home crowd behind them and a front line full of pace and quality, it’s easy to see Arsenal creating the better chances across the 90 minutes. Spurs, meanwhile, will look to soak pressure and spring forward quickly when they win it back.
Tip 1 – Arsenal to win & Over 1.5 goals
A straight Arsenal win is very short, so combining it with over 1.5 total goals makes more sense. Most derbies tend to open up once the first goal goes in, and both sides have enough attacking talent to contribute to at least a 2–0 or 2–1 type scoreline.
Suggested odds: around 4/6
Tip 2 – Bukayo Saka anytime goalscorer (value angle)
Saka is heavily involved in everything good Arsenal do in the final third, takes on his man, gets shots away and is a major threat cutting in from the right. Add his penalty duty into the mix and he looks a solid anytime scorer shout at a backable price.
Suggested odds: around 7/4
Tip 3 – Both teams to score – Yes
Even if Arsenal dominate, Spurs have the weapons to get on the scoresheet. Their forwards are sharp on the counter and can punish any sloppy moments when Arsenal push full-backs high. A 2–1 or 3–1 home win feels very feasible.
Suggested odds: around 4/5
Responsible gambling: Only bet what you can afford to lose, keep stakes sensible, and walk away if it stops being fun.
