Why you should back Arsenal
The Gunners have the home advantage and the most recent victory, and they should come in with some confidence. They lost 5-0 to league champion Manchester City on Aug. 28 but have won all three games since. Some early battles with COVID and injuries have passed, and the defense has come together. The back four of Takehiro Tomiyasu, Ben White, Kieran Tierney and Gabriel finally played as a unit in front of goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale on September 11. Arsenal has a 15-4 edge in shots on target and has not allowed a goal in the three matches since then.
With the defense set, manager Mikel Arteta will start focusing on the attack, and he has quality pieces with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang up top and Emile Smith Rowe, Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka to provide creativity. Aubameyang and Odegaard have scored the team’s two goals, and big things are expected from Smith Rowe. Tottenham has allowed six goals in its past two league matches and got past Wolves on penalties after a 2-2 draw in the League Cup on Wednesday. Spurs have won just once (1-11-16) in the past 28 matches at the Emirates.
Why you should back Tottenham
Arsenal’s defense has been stout the past few games, but that was against inferior competition, and Harry Kane is eager to get on the score sheet. The star striker wanted a transfer and wasn’t happy to stay, but he knows his duty. The 28-year-old won the Golden Boot with 23 goals and had 14 assists in 2020-21, and he has scored at least 17 goals in seven-straight seasons. Kane did manage his first domestic goal of the season in the League Cup match with Wolves on Wednesday. Tottenham has lost just three times in the past 13 matches (5-5-3) in this rivalry.
Heung-Min Son has 72 goals in seven seasons with Spurs and has two this year. The South Korean scored in a stunning 1-0 win against league champion Manchester City in the opener. The team is trying to regain that form, which saw it hold clean sheets in its first three matches. Arsenal failed to score in its first three. Spurs have allowed 89 shots, but just 25.8 have been on target, the fourth-best mark in the EPL. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo is trying to find the right combinations, and he has talented midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to run the show.
