Arsenal vs Tottenham Prediction & Betting Tips (24 September)

In search of an English champion title since the Invincibles season in 2004, Arsenal did not go far from immense happiness last year. Mikel Arteta's men held the lead in the Premier League for a long time before giving in in the final stretch. They finally finished in 2nd place in the standings, 5 points behind Manchester City. Very ambitious for this 2023/2024 financial year, Arsenal got off to a good start by winning the Community Shield against the Citizens 1-1, a victory following penalties. The Gunners are also off to a good start in the league.

Still undefeated, 4 wins and 1 draw, they are currently 4th in the Premier League. Braked at home by Fulham during the 3rd day 2-2, Arsenal then won against Manchester United 3-1 and Everton last weekend 0-1. For their big return to the Champions League, the Gunners gave the fans a great celebration by outclassing PSV this week 4-0.

The Arsenal coach still deplores the withdrawal of the defender recruited this summer Timber (ex-Ajax). He is treating an injury contracted on the first day. Otherwise, we find on the flank the captain Partey and the replacement midfielder Elneny but also the important winger Martinelli (2 assists in PL), affected against Everton. Recruited at a high price this summer, the English international midfielder Rice (ex-West Ham) quickly found his place with the Gunners while the German Havertz (ex-Chelsea) is disappointing for the moment. Captain Odegaard (2 goals in PL) and winger Saka (2 goals and 2 assists in PL) remain the most influential offensive elements. Last weekend, it was substitute Trossard who gave Arsenal victory. Brazilian international Gabriel Jesus started his first three league matches on the bench. For this short trip to the Emirates, Tottenham is further weakened by the withdrawal of starting midfielder Bentancur.

In addition, the usual replacements Whiteman (goalkeeper), Sessegnon (back) and Bryan Gil (winger) and the playmaker who returned from loan this summer Lo Celso, are also unavailable, injured. A target of criticism for many months now, Brazilian international Richarlison found a smile again last weekend. Coming into play, he was the main architect of the victory for Spurs with 1 goal and 1 assist. Recruited this summer, playing master Maddison (2 goals and 2 assists in PL) is already essential in Postecoglou's system. This is also the case of new captain Heug-Min Son (3 goals in PL). The off-season was marked by the departure of the top scorer in the club's history Harry Kane (Bayern Munich).
