North London Derby Special: 15/2 Bet Builder for Sunday’s Showdown

The north London derby rarely needs extra spice — but this Sunday’s clash carries added weight for both sides.

Tottenham Hotspur are fighting to drag themselves away from the relegation zone under new manager Igor Tudor, while league leaders Arsenal are eager to respond after their frustrating midweek draw at Wolves.

Spurs are still searching for their first domestic win of 2026, and Arsenal — who have lost just once away since September — will see this as the perfect opportunity to pile further pressure on their fiercest rivals.

Both teams to score @ 17/20
Micky van de Ven to be carded @ 3/1
Bukayo Saka 2+ shots @ 2/11

Goals Look Likely at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Tottenham’s results may have dipped, but their ability to score hasn’t disappeared. Spurs have netted 36 goals in 26 league games and have found the back of the net in every home fixture since early November.

They now face an Arsenal side that have conceded in six of their last eight away matches across all competitions.

The Gunners, meanwhile, have drawn a blank just twice since August and sit among the Premier League’s most potent attacking teams.

With both sides capable of finding the net — and derby tension often creating chaos — backing both teams to score looks a logical starting point.

Option 1: Both teams to score @ 17/20

Van de Ven Could Be Walking a Tightrope

When Tottenham cards are mentioned, Cristian Romero is usually the headline act — but he misses this one through suspension after his red card against Manchester United.

That shifts attention to center-back partner Micky van de Ven, who has already picked up six yellow cards this season.

With Tudor expected to continue using a back three, Van de Ven may find himself isolated against Arsenal’s sharp movement and quick transitions. Facing a fluid attack increases the likelihood of tactical fouls — and that makes him a strong candidate to enter the referee’s notebook.

Option 2: Micky van de Ven to be carded @ 3/1

Saka Ready to Pull the Trigger

If Arsenal need inspiration, it often comes from Bukayo Saka. The England winger has registered 34 shots this season — 12 more than striker Viktor Gyokeres — underlining just how central he is to Arsenal’s attacking play.

He ended a goal drought by scoring at Molineux in midweek and will relish the chance to test Tottenham’s reshaped defense.

With Spurs adjusting to a new manager and tactical tweaks, there may be moments of uncertainty at the back — and Saka rarely hesitates when opportunities present themselves.

Expect him to be heavily involved and to pull the trigger more than once.

Option 3: Bukayo Saka 2+ shots @ 2/11
