Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal

, KO: 16:30 Jan 15, 2023, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Arsenal

ARSENAL'S title credentials will arguably get their toughest test of the season when they make the short journey across North London to face Tottenham Hotspur.

The Gunners look on course for their first title since 2004, but there's nothing Spurs and their fans would like more than to derail that title charge.

Spurs are not completely out of the battle for league glory themselves although they trail Arsenal by 11 points and it looks far too big an ask for them. A Champions League spot though is the minimum requirement for Antonio Conte.

The antics between Conte and Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta could easily be as entertaining as what happens on the pitch and it's a pity bookies don't do markets on manager cards with these combustible pair.

With Manchester City playing at Manchester United, there is a sense in the air of a seismic weekend when it comes to the destination of the league flag

As consistent as Arsenal have been, there remains a nagging suspicion about their bottle when it comes to massive occasions like this and this has all the hallmarks of a cracker.

How the bookies view it

Despite being at the home of their greatest rivals, Arsenal are solid favourites here at 6/5 with bet365,

Tottenham Hotspur can be backed at 9/4 with William Hill and the draw is 14/5 with UniBet.

Recent head to heads

Arsenal won 3-1 at the Emirates when the sides met in October against ten-men Spurs.

However, Spurs are unbeaten at their last seven home meetings with the Gunners and have won five of them.

Players to watch

Harry Kane has had his usual consistently excellent season and has scored 19 goals for club and country this season already including six in his last six games. He is a decent price at 9/5 to score here with UniBet.

Bukayo Saka has been outstanding for Arsenal and has scored ten goals for club and country. He is 3/1 to score with William Hill.

Anything else catch the eye?

Bookies appear to have a very high opinion of Arsenal's title potential and that's understandable given the start they have made, but Spurs should have some key players back including Richarlison and the visitors look far too short in what should be a frenzied atmosphere.

Spurs' 4-0 win at Crystal Palace the other week looked like something of a turning point for them and they are likely to improve as the season progresses.

Arsenal's dreadful record away to their rivals won't help them and this could easily be a draw, with Arsenal unable to beat a Newcastle United side recently who are on a similar level to Spurs.

Six of Spurs' last seven games have seen over 2.5 goals and this could well be the case again on Sunday at 13/16 with SBK.
