Arsenal preview: Difficult to play against
Arsenal remain at the top-of-the-table but they conceded 40% of the goals they have conceded in the Premier League this season in their most recent outing as they were pegged back late on to a 2-2 draw against high-flying Sunderland on Wearside.
Mikel Arteta has an extremely strong squad with a lot of options in the final third, which is helpful for a generally functional side that aren’t necessarily reliant on set-pieces, but do tend to produce their most threatening moments from those situations.
Tottenham preview: Frustrating for Frank
Despite how woeful Tottenham Hotspur were in the Premier League last season, Spurs supporters have shown frustration at Ange Postecoglou’s replacement, Thomas Frank, as they begin the weekend sitting fifth in the Premier League table.
That position does perhaps flatter them, though, with performances pragmatic and underwhelming throughout the campaign. They were denied three points last time out due to a late Matthijs de Ligt goal in a 2-2 draw against Manchester United.

Arsenal vs Tottenham prediction
The positives for Tottenham fans to take as they head to the Emirates this weekend would be that their performances, as well as results, have been impressive on the road this season, and they have already shown they can beat a top team, such as Manchester City, away from home with Frank’s pragmatism. That said, this is an Arsenal side that are unlikely to offer too much space even in transition and a low-scoring home win remains the likeliest outcome for the first North London Derby of the season.
