The London derby, Arsenal vs Tottenham, is here again where these two London giants not only battle for more than three points but also for bragging rights as the kings of London.
Arsenal, who are playing at home, have an impressive run at home with 10 points in the last 5 home games losing only 1 game in all competitions but also are enjoying a 5 game winning streak in the premier league. Arsenal is unbeaten in their last 4 league games at home.
The away team, on the other hand, has accumulated 8 points from their last 5 away games this season. Tottenham is unbeaten in their last 10 league games, and they are unbeaten in their last 4 away games in the league.
According to Bet Devil, the comparison between Arsenal's home games versus Tottenham's away games proves that there have been 40 percent home wins, 30 percent draws and 30 percent away wins.
Arsenal looks like absolute favorites according to the stats, but they are facing a tough fixture when they at the same time have an injury crisis with 10 players out. These injuries made Arsenal vulnerable against Bayern Munich on Wednesday's Champions league match at the Allianz Arena in Germany.
According to Team talk, Laurent Koscielny, who was the last to join the injury table with a hip problem on Wednesday is 80 percent fit, and he is doubtful for the derby. He joins Hector Bellerin (groin), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (hamstring), Theo Walcott (calf), Mikel Arteta (ankle/foot), Aaron Ramsey (hamstring), David Ospina (shoulder), Jack Wilshere (ankle), Tomas Rosicky (knee) and Danny Welbeck (knee).
Either way, no matter which team is at home, one thing for sure is that the North London derby will be intense, full of passion and noisy like usual, as fans say.
