Arsenal vs Tottenham Prediction: Match Preview with Lineups, Stats and Odds

*Odds are subject to change.

Matchweek 12 of the Premier League campaign pits Arsenal against Tottenham. There’s all to play for in this north London derby, as Arsenal look to extend their lead in the title race, and Spurs try to continue their surprising away form.

Get ready for a 4:30pm kick-off on Sunday, 23 November 2025. Referee Michael Oliver will take charge at the Emirates Stadium.

Match Prediction

Arsenal to win is 1.42 at Betway. But I prefer Arsenal -1 Handicap at 2.25 (William Hill). Arsenal have scored 12 goals in 5 home league games (2.4 goals per game), and their H2H edge gives me confidence in a convincing win.

Sunday’s second prediction is over 2.5 goals (1.80 at Betfred). The home side’s scoring ability and the H2H stats suggest we could see 3+ goals at the Emirates.

Arsenal Latest News & Analysis

Arsenal had to settle for a 2-2 draw at Sunderland in matchweek 11, as they maintained a 4-point lead over Man City in the EPL table on 26 points (W8 D2 L1). The Gunners have the league’s best defence (5 goals against) and third-best attack (20 goals for).

Before the Sunderland trip, Arsenal had won 10 consecutive league and cup games. 8 clean sheets in a row included wins to nil over Burnley (2-0), Crystal Palace (1-0), Slavia Prague (3-0), and Brighton (2-0).

The Gunners are unbeaten since losing to Liverpool back in August and yet to lose at home in the EPL (W4 D1 L0), so they will be confident of winning this local derby.

Knee injuries keep Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz out until late 2025. Martin Odegaard (shoulder) continues his recovery. Gabriel Magalhaes suffered a thigh injury on Brazilian international duty. Other fitness doubts are Riccardo Calafiori (hip), Viktor Gyokeres (hamstring), and Gabriel Martinelli (thigh). Noni Madueke could return from a knee complaint.

Mikel Arteta has no suspensions in the Arsenal squad.

Player in Focus

Bukayo Saka scored against Sunderland in game round 11. He has 3 goals in only 9 league starts. Saka to score a goal at 2.75 (Bet365) looks a solid pick. The England international can cause damage from his right forward position.

Tottenham Latest News & Analysis

Tottenham are fifth-placed (W5 D3 L3) in the EPL table with 18 points. Fresh from a chaotic 2-2 draw versus Man United, Spurs are unbeaten away (W4 D2 L0) this term. All 3 of their EPL defeats came at home. However, a rocky run of 1 win in 4 EPL fixtures has piled the pressure on Thomas Frank.

Indeed, Spurs have only 3 wins in 10 league and cup games. One of those was a 4-0 home win versus FC Copenhagen. Yet, a 1-0 reverse at Chelsea in matchweek 10 exposed their frailties.

Tottenham’s injury issues continue. Longer-term knee issues account for James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski. Thomas Frank is also without Radu Dragusin (knee), Ben Davies (thigh), Dominic Solanke (ankle), Koto Takai (foot), Yves Bissouma (ankle), Archie Gray (calf), and Randal Kolo Muani (broken jaw). Lucas Bergvall (concussion) and Mohammed Kudus (knock) could also miss the journey to Arsenal.

On a positive note, Tottenham have no suspended players.

Player in Focus

Richarlison has 4 league goals and 2 assists in 11 starts and 5 substitute appearances. So, consider Richarlison for 1+ shot on target (2.30 at Betway).

Arsenal vs Tottenham Predicted Lineups

Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Guglielmo Vicario – Micky van de Ven, Kevin Danso, Pedro Porro, Djed Spence – Joao Palhinha, Rodrigo Bentancur – Wilson Odobert, Brennan Johnson, Xavi Simons – Richarlison
