Tottenham Hotspur vs. Arsenal: Sunday Afternoon North London Derby Set to be Spectacular

This Sunday afternoon, September 15, Tottenham Hotspur will host Arsenal in the first North London derby of the 2024-25 Premier League season in what promises to be a spectacular game for fans.

Tottenham, coming off a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle, have had a mixed start with one win, one draw, and one loss. Despite dominating possession and creating chances, Spurs have lacked ruthlessness in front of goal.

Ange Postecoglou will need his side to capitalize on their home advantage, having won 13 of their 19 home games last season. Son Heung-min, a proven derby scorer, will need to lead from the front, hoping to break Arsenal’s resilience.

Arsenal Seek to Continue Dominance | Away Win = 2.41

Arsenal remain unbeaten this season, with seven points from three matches. After a solid start with back-to-back 2-0 victories, the Gunners were held to a 1-1 draw by Brighton, largely impacted by Declan Rice’s controversial red card.

Arsenal will feel confident heading into the derby, having won three of their last four league encounters against Spurs. Arsenal’s depth will be tested, but their strong away form, unbeaten in their last 10 Premier League away games, boosts their confidence.
