Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur face off on Saturday in an English Premier League showdown at Emirates Stadium. When these two teams faced off on May 12th it was Tottenham that secured the 3-0 victory.
Arsenal currently sits in 1st place in the standings, having picked up 18 points so far this season. Arsenal’s last game came back on September 18th, and they were able to knock off Brentford 3-0. Arsenal scored three goals in the 49th minute, and it was a dominant victory. Arsenal had seven shots on target in that game and 64 percent of the possession. Arsenal isn’t fully healthy, but Kieran Tierney, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Thomas Partey are all expected to be healthy enough to go in this game, which will be big boosts for this team. Smith Rowe won’t be able to go in this game as he had to undergo groin surgery and will be out for the next couple of months.
On the other side of this matchup is Tottenham Hotspur, and they sit in 3rd place in the standings having picked up 17 points. Tottenham’s last game came against Leicester City, and the offense scored six goals in that game on the way to an easy victory. Son Heung-Kim picked up goals in the 73rd, 84th, and 86th minute on the way to the victory. The big question for Tottenham heading into this game is the status of Hugo Lloris. He is dealing with a thigh injury, and it’s unclear if he’s going to be able to go in this game.
The home team is going to find success in this game. Tottenham’s offense has been good, but their defense has also had issues. Leicester City isn’t very good, and they gave up two goals in that game. In this game, look for Arsenal to attack the weak defense, of Tottenham, and that will be the difference as they get the job done. Back Arsenal on the money line.
