Tottenham vs Arsenal Prediction: Lineups, Odds and Stats

*Odds are subject to change.

Fierce north London rivals Tottenham and Arsenal clash in game round 27 of the Premier League (PL) season. Tottenham are struggling near the relegation places, and Arsenal are trying to outpace Man City in the title race.

This match kicks off at 4:30 pm on Sunday, 22nd February 2026, from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Peter Bankes is the match referee.

Match Prediction

I predict Arsenal will beat Tottenham. The Gunners are striving to stay top of the league, so I cannot see Tottenham overcoming Arsenal’s 80% win rate in ten recent H2Hs.

Following the H2H trend since 2021, I predict plenty of goals in this match. You can back over 2.5 goals at 1.80 (Betfred) or both teams to score at 1.85 (Coral).

Tottenham Latest News & Analysis

Tottenham are in sixteenth place in the PL standings with 29 points from 26 matches (W7 D8 L11). Spurs have a minus-one goal difference, having scored just 36 and conceded 37.

The Lilywhites have yet to win a league game in 2026 (D4 and L4). Their dire home form is 18th best in the PL (W2 D4 L7), including five home matches without a win.

Spurs are coming off back-to-back PL defeats, losing 2-1 at home to Newcastle and 2-0 at Man United. Before those setbacks, the Lilywhites had gone four games unbeaten with a pair of 2-0 wins in the Champions League against Eintracht Frankfurt and Dortmund, plus 2-2 PL draws with Man City and Burnley.

New interim Head Coach Igor Tudor could turn to a 3-4-2-1 formation in a bid to boost Spurs’ league fortunes.

An injury crisis sees James Maddison (ACL), Wilson Odobert (ACL), Dejan Kulusevski (knee), and Ben Davies (broken ankle) out for the season. Other players sidelined include Rodrigo Bentancur (hamstring), Mohammed Kudus (thigh), Lucas Bergvall (ankle), Kevin Danso (toe), and hamstring injuries to Destiny Udogie, Pedro Porro, and Richarlison.

Cristian Romero sits out the second match of his four-game suspension.

Player in Focus

Dominic Solanke scored in recent games against Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt and netted twice in round 24 to rescue a point against Man City. You can get odds of 1.80 (Ladbrokes) for Solanke to have one or more shots on target.

Arsenal Latest News & Analysis

Arsenal are still top of the PL standings (W17 D7 L3) with 58 points, five clear of Man City, who have played one less. Arsenal scored twelve (2.4 average) and conceded six (1.2 average) in their last five PL games.

After round 23’s home defeat to Man United, Arsenal have five wins from seven matches in all competitions. But two PL away draws in a row threaten their bid for a first league title since 2003-2004. On Wednesday night, they let a 2-0 lead slip to draw 2-2 at Wolves, following matchweek 26’s 1-1 draw at Brentford.

However, last weekend, the Gunners beat Wigan 4-0 to reach the FA Cup fifth round. But Head Coach Mikel Arteta faces a challenge to calm nerves and keep a large squad happy.

The Gunners’ main injuries are Kai Havertz (muscle injury), Mikel Merino (foot), Max Dowman (ankle), and Martin Odegaard (knock). Leandro Trossard is doubtful after suffering a knock against Wolves. Arsenal have no suspensions.

Player in Focus

Viktor Gyokeres has eight goals in 25 league appearances this term. You can get odds of 2.50 (Betway) for Gyokeres to score against Tottenham.
