The Famous North London Derby Puts Arsenal Under Pressure Against Tottenham

Amid mounting pressure following a dip in results, league leaders Arsenal travel to face their neighbors Tottenham Hotspur in the famous North London derby, as part of Match week 27 of the Premier League.

Arsenal head into the clash after a disappointing 2-2 draw away at Wolverhampton on Wednesday, adding to a run of recent setbacks that have trimmed their lead at the top. Manchester City could close the gap to just two points. Arsenal currently lead the Premier League table with 58 points, five ahead of second-placed City, who have played one game fewer.

The Gunners remain in contention on four fronts: the league and the EFL Cup, where they will meet Manchester City in the final.

They will also face Mansfield Town in the FA Cup Round of 16, having already qualified for the Champions League Round of 16 as winners of the unified group phase.

Tottenham, meanwhile, sit 16th in the table with 29 points, five clear of 18th-placed West Ham, who occupy a relegation spot.

Here are the key stats that could help you predict the correct score and win valuable prizes with Betway:

Tottenham have lost their last three home league matches against Arsenal, the same number of defeats they suffered in the previous 23 such games combined (10 wins, 10 draws).
Arsenal have won six of their last seven league matches against Tottenham (one draw), including the last four in a row. The last time they won five consecutive league games against Spurs was between January 1987 and January 1989.
Tottenham are winless in their last eight league matches (four draws, four defeats).
Tottenham are the only team yet to record a league win in 2026, drawing four and losing four of their eight matches — their longest winless start to a calendar year since 1994 (first 10 matches).
Since their last defeat to Tottenham in May 2022, Arsenal have lost just one of 21 away London derbies in the league (14 wins, six draws), a 2-1 defeat to Fulham in December 2023.
This will be Igor Tudor’s first match in charge of Tottenham. The only manager whose first game in charge of Spurs came against Arsenal was Glenn Hoddle, who lost 2-1 in the FA Cup semi-final at Old Trafford in April 2001.
Igor Tudor has won his first match in each of his last five managerial spells, starting with his second stint at Hajduk Split in February 2020 (as well as with Verona, Marseille, Lazio, and Juventus).
Eberechi Eze has been involved in six goals in his last four league matches against Tottenham (including three in two games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium), scoring a hat-trick in his first appearance for Arsenal against them in the reverse fixture in November.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has won 41 of his 68 London derby matches in the league (60.3%), the highest win percentage of any manager to oversee at least 20 such games. Only Arsène Wenger (106/194) and José Mourinho (42/70) have won more London derbies than the Spaniard.
