If you have been following the Premier League, you will realise the kind of form that has been carrying forward both Arsenal and Tottenham. While the latter has managed to seal a few good victories, the former got off to a poor start and started picking momentum with games against Norwich and Burnley. However, both teams are only separated with a difference of three points as Spurs sit at 7th and Arsenal at 13th on the table. So who will gain those three points and go higher up the table?

Matchday 6 of 38

A 2-nil loss to Brentford and Chelsea and a 5-nil loss to Manchester City is a bad way to start your Premier League campaign. However, significant victories against Norwich and Burnley have taken the pressure off Mikel Arteta’s shoulders as he looks forward to welcoming Spurs in their next fixture. While Spurs did begin with three victories over Manchester City, Wolves and Watford, they went down against Crystal Palace and Chelsea. 

Due to that, predicting the team that is going to come out on top is a little tricky. While Arsenal have a home advantage, Spurs have been better this season and have shown how well they can flare under Nuno Espirito Santo. 

Date and Venue

The North London Derby between Arsenal and Tottenham takes place on matchday 6 of the Premier League, which is going to be held on the 26th of September at Emirates Stadium. 

Arsenal Vs Tottenham Hotspur: Team Analysis

1. The beginning of a strong defence for Arsenal?

There were a lot of questions raised when Arsenal splashed out £50 million for Ben White with the hope that he could form a defensive partnership with Gabriel. While White did not create an instant impact, he has started to show a few glimpses of a promising start. Ben White and Gabriel at centre back do form a good defensive partnership, however, this partnership is surely going to face its ultimate test when the likes of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min come charging forward. 

2. The Harry Kane and Son Heung-min threat 

With Gareth Bale leaving after the end of his spell at Spurs, it is now up to Harry Kane and Son Heung-min to carry forward the attacking threat of Spurs. While both forwards are world-class attackers, they are yet to showcase the unique combo that Spurs fans have seen all these years. So far, only Son has delivered or at least tried to deliver, while Kane, last season Golden Boot Winner, is without a single goal to his name. 

Since that seems like a rare aspect of Harry Kane, we expect things to turn around in the coming matches as the England International captain looks for his first goal of the season.
