Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal. Shape of the Teams
We are only four rounds away from the end of the English Premier League 23/24 season. The upcoming matches are crucial in determining the champions. Among them, the match between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal is among the most important.
Both teams cannot afford to lose points in this game, as it will significantly impact their final positions in the table.

Tottenham is currently six points behind Aston Villa in the league standings, but they have two games in hand. This means that if Postecoglou’s team loses points in the next match, their chances of finishing in the top four will be minimal.
Furthermore, Tottenham faces tough away games against Chelsea and Liverpool, who are determined to make up for their recent defeats.
Arsenal currently sits one point ahead of Manchester City in the table, but Guardiola’s team has one game in hand.
As past seasons have shown, Manchester City has the ability to finish the league with winning streaks. Last season, Arsenal lost first place to Manchester City in the 35th round after City secured 12 consecutive wins at the end of the season. Consequently, Arteta’s team now has no margin for error.

Spurs, with one of the five best defensive records this season, owe much of this success to their goalkeeper, Guglielmo Vicario. Tottenham frequently allows chances in their penalty area and is ranked 12th in the EPL in terms of expected goals against (xGA).
Throughout the season, Tottenham’s defenders have struggled with maintaining a high line, often becoming disorganized in situations opponents can exploit. In the last round, Newcastle scored four goals against Spurs, which could have easily been more.
On the other hand, Tottenham’s attack is doing well. The players have well-defined roles on the pitch, and in most matches, they operate in a structured manner. Additionally, Postecoglou has several attacking ideas that regularly deliver results.
After their defeat against Aston Villa, Arsenal bounced back with impressive performances against Wolverhampton and Chelsea, showing high intensity throughout the 90 minutes of both matches.
Leandro Trossard and Kai Havertz have been playing exceptionally well in recent games, not only creating opportunities in the penalty area and linking up with their midfield partners but also scoring crucial goals.
Saka has been causing problems for the opposition on the right flank, while Ødegaard has been making penetrating passes from the zone between the lines. Havertz and Trossard have also been finishing off attacks with their shots.
However, the team has experienced defensive issues, particularly on the left flank, where Kivior, Zinchenko, and Tomiyasu have struggled in 1-on-1 situations. Despite these challenges, Arsenal remains well-organized in their pressing and can swiftly transition into a compact, medium-defensive formation.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal, Prediction, Odds
- Pick: draw or Arsenal FC
- Odds: -371 (Tonybet)
Throughout the history of the Premier League, Arsenal and Tottenham have only managed to secure one away win each in their head-to-head encounters.
Tottenham secured a 3-2 victory at the Emirates in 2010, while Arsenal achieved their first English Premier League win at Tottenham’s ground only last season. On January 15, 2023, Arteta’s team triumphed 2-0 in a closely contested match that offered numerous opportunities for both sides.
Given Tottenham’s significant problems in defence and Arsenal’s excellent attacking play in recent matches, I don’t expect the Gunners to lose this match. However, it will be a challenging game for Arteta’s team, considering they are up against a super-motivated opponent.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -197 (Tonybet)
Tottenham is not standing out this season when it comes to goals scored and expected. However, Postecoglou is a proactive coach, and almost all of his attacking players are in top form at the moment.
In the first meeting between these two teams this season – at the Emirates – Spurs showed great play in rapid attacks and scored two goals in a game that ended in a draw. Now that they play at home, they will surely be motivated to score again and will likely succeed.
Arsenal, the Premier League leader in goals scored, has been particularly prolific in the second half of the season. This suggests that the visitors are likely to score at least one goal in the upcoming match.
