Charged-up Arsenal Keen on Ending Tottenham Hotspur’s Dream Away Form in Premier League
The Arsenal vs Tottenham match should be a really eventful one, in which both teams are guaranteed to have their share of chances to score and secure points. This will be particularly interesting due to the excellent home form of Arsenal this season, as well as the impressive away form of the Lilywhites.
The Gunners look to bounce back from their recent draw against Sunderland to maintain their unbeaten run at the Emirates Stadium, but can expect a tough fight from this gritty Spurs side. Tottenham have won four of their five away matches in the 2025/26 Premier League so far and will look to maintain their impressive away form at the Emirates Stadium by being defensively strong and terrorising on the counterattacks.
Arsenal definitely have the better record over Spurs in recent meetings, having won five of their last six North London derbies, and the Gunners look to produce another thrilling display at home to get another win against Spurs.
Inspired Bukayo Saka Determined To Be Derby Hero Against Tottenham
With questions around the availability of Viktor Gyokeres for this derby, after he missed the last few matches because of an injury, there could be added reliance on the Arsenal frontline towards Bukayo Saka.
The Englishman is coming off a pretty impressive showing for England in the November international break, scoring a great goal in the recent win over Serbia in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifier.
Saka is yet to get an assist this season, but he has scored six goals in 14 games for Arsenal and was on the scoresheet against Sunderland as well. He will look to lead Arsenal from the front by tormenting the Spurs defenders with his dribbling and unpredictable movement, but the Englishman needs to be at his prolific best in finishing off chances and creating them to really lift spirits at the Emirates Stadium for this match.

Can Richarlison Become Spurs’ Derby Hero Against Arsenal?
Richarlison went into the November international break after scoring in Spurs’ recent 2-2 draw against Manchester United, and he looks set to spearhead the Tottenham frontline against Arsenal.
Despite the Brazilian forward having frustrated fans at times during the 2025/26 season, he has six goal contributions (four goals, two assists) in 11 Premier League matches so far in the ongoing campaign.
The Brazilian forward appears to suit Thomas Frank’s style, but he needs to be more prolific in these big games to assert his place in the starting lineup.
Richarlison needs to be smart with his off-the-ball movement to disrupt the rock-solid Arsenal backline and cause them to make mistakes. Richarlison will look to get in the right places at the right time to finish off chances clinically and help his side get a big win.
