Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
We’re back to Premier League business and what a start we have in store with a renewal of North London hostilities as Arsenal takes on Spurs.
Of all the derbies, this one rarely disappoints!
As always, it’s going to be a tight game between the two, drawing three in the last four. In this game though, betting odds say the Gunners start as slight favourites with the home advantage.
Premier League betting fans watched the international break with interest, looking for clues, and can’t fail to have been impressed by what they saw. This North London derby sees the return of some World Cup stars in the form of their lives.
With France already qualified, Arsenal’s Alexandre Lacazette took the 2104 World Champions Germany on and smashed a brace. Meanwhile, Spurs’ Christian Eriksen broke Irish hearts with a world class hat-trick for Denmark.
A new look England, captained by Eric Dier and missing Harry Kane and Dele Alli, performed admirably. Of the missing Lions, I suspect Alli is the one with something to prove after an unimpressive start to this league campaign. Harry Kane is both England and Spurs’ top man though, and if he lines up on Saturday then we’ll have an array of talent on show.
Alexis Sanchez has had a decent, if unwanted, rest too thanks to Chile’s exit from the World Cup and he will, as ever, present a big threat for Arsenal by drifting in from the wing. Both teams are in good form, Spurs following up defeat to Manchester United with that stunning victory over Real Madrid while Arsenal’s winning sequence was only halted by runaway leaders Manchester City.
Lacazette will aim to add to his six league goals, while Eriksen is the man most likely to tee up Kane for his ninth of the season.
What a chance for two North London defences to really earn their money!
