Tottenham are set to welcome bitter rivals Arsenal to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a Premier League clash at 2 pm BST on Sunday, April 28.
Despite being the home team, Spurs are 16/5 underdogs in the betting to come away with three points on Sunday, while Mikel Arteta’s side are 8/11 favourites to secure the three points.
Tottenham head into the fixture looking to gain some ground in the top-four race, while Arsenal are eyeing their first Premier League title in 20 years.
Tottenham vs Arsenal
FA Cup action last weekend means Tottenham have not played a Premier League game for two weeks. Their last outing saw them hammered 4-0 by Newcastle United but a much-needed break should have given the Lilywhites plenty of time to regroup heading into the weekend.
Despite losing to Europe-chasing Newcastle, Spurs remain firmly in the race to clinch a top-four finish. They are six points adrift of Aston Villa but have two games in hand on the Midlands outfit. However, the north Londoners really need to beat Arsenal to ensure they keep pace with an in-form Villa.
Premier League Top Four finish: Current Standings
- 4th - Aston Villa Pld 34 - Pts 66
- 5th - Tottenham Pld 32 - Pts 60
- 6th - Manchester United Pld 33 - Pts 53
As for Arsenal, their remaining four games this season will all need to be treated like cup finals. The Gunners have lost just one league match in 2024 but their grip on the Premier League title hangs in the balance.
Manchester City are 2nd in the table ahead of the latest gameweek, but they will usurp Arsenal if they win their game in hand. The Sky Blues also have a much more favourable fixture on Sunday (versus Nottingham Forest), suggesting Arsenal have to win to maintain their 1st-place status for another week.
Premier League Title Race: Current Standings
- 1st - Arsenal Pld 34 - Pts 77
- 2nd - Manchester City Pld 33 - Pts 76
- 3rd - Liverpool Pld 34 - Pts 74
Tottenham vs Arsenal betting stats
Here are some key Tottenham and Arsenal stats to keep in mind as you prepare to make your selections ahead of the game:
- Arsenal have won three London derbies in the league this season by five or more goals (5-0 v Crystal Palace, 6-0 v West Ham and 5-0 v Chelsea), the most such victories in a single campaign by a team in English league history.
- The last three derbies hosted by Tottenham have been won to nil, while Arsenal are unbeaten in their last three meetings with Spurs.
- Along with Newcastle, Tottenham are one of just two teams to have scored in 100 per cent of their Premier League home games this season.
- A 2-0 win at Wolves means Arsenal have now kept six successive clean sheets away from home - an all-time club record. Only Chelsea and Manchester United (both in 2008/09) have kept more consecutive clean sheets on the road.
Tottenham vs Arsenal Top Tip
- Heung-Min Son has been involved in 24 goals in his last 26 Premier League appearances, scoring 15 and assisting nine. One more assist would see him become just the sixth player to register double figures for both goals and assists in three separate Premier League campaigns (also 2019-20 and 2020-21), after Wayne Rooney (5), Mohamed Salah (4), Frank Lampard (4), Eric Cantona (4) and Didier Drogba (3).
