The North London Derby: Arsenal vs. Tottenham

By James Benge

On Sunday, Arsenal will host Tottenham in what is expected to be one of the most thrilling matchups of the Premier League season. The North London Derby between these two fierce rivals has a well-deserved reputation for drama, with rarely a goalless draw in recent years. Last season, Arsenal managed to win both home and away against Tottenham, and manager Mikel Arteta hopes to continue this success by becoming the only Gunners boss to win his first four home North London derbies, matching Terry Neill’s record. Meanwhile, Ange Postecoglu, the new manager for Tottenham, is aiming to replicate the success he had with Rangers when he was in charge of Celtic.

Storylines

Arsenal: The focus for Arsenal will be on the goalkeeper selection, as Mikel Arteta decides between David Raya and Aaron Ramsdale. Raya has started the previous two games, but some fans fear that this decision may mark the beginning of the end for Ramsdale’s career at Arsenal. Arteta has indicated that he wants to rotate his goalkeepers, but the North London Derby is a big occasion that may call for the exuberance and energy of Ramsdale. If Ramsdale is left out of the team again, it may indicate a changing of the guard at the Emirates Stadium.

Tottenham: The absence of Harry Kane, who left for Bayern Munich this summer, will be felt by Tottenham in the North London Derby. Kane is the leading scorer in the history of this fixture, with 14 goals in just 17 Premier League encounters against Arsenal. However, manager Ange Postecoglu has praised the remaining players for stepping up and filling the gap left by Kane’s departure. While Spurs have maintained an attacking threat in all areas of their game, there is no denying the significant contribution that Kane made. The question remains whether Tottenham can manage this void against their arch-rivals.

Prediction

If Tottenham continues to play in an attacking style, it may create chances for both teams, but Arsenal may just edge out a thrilling victory. Prediction: Arsenal 3, Tottenham 2
