Emirates Stadium

English Premier League Football

Kick-Off: 12:45

 

 

The North London Derby returns to the Premier League once again, and both Arsenal and Tottenham will be keen for a win, not only to get one over their rivals, but to put them even closer to their individual targets on the Premiership ladder.

Arsenal

A win for the Gunners would put them top of the Premier League ladder on Saturday if Chelsea were to lose away to Birmingham City, with only two points separating the London teams.

Arsenal come into this North London derby with Tottenham Hotspur after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Everton at Goodison Park last weekend.

Goals by Bacary Sagna and Cesc Fabregas were enough to overcome a late Tim Cahill effort, but the scoreline could have been greater in the Gunners' favour had it not been for some wasteful finishing from the likes of Samir Nasri and Marouane Chamakh.

Heading into this match with Tottenham, Arsenal will welcome back central defender Laurent Koscielny from suspension.

Meanwhile, manager Arsene Wenger will face a late fitness decision over Jack Wilshere, after the midfielder picked up a back problem in the win over Everton.

Tottenham

After a string of disappointing results followed their brilliant 3-1 win over Inter Milan in the Champions League, Spurs got back to winning ways with a convincing 4-2 victory over Blackburn Rovers at White Hart Lane last weekend.

Two goals from in-form hero Gareth Bale, and one each to Roman Pavlyuchenko and Peter Crouch kept Tottenham's top four hopes alive, putting the London side in sixth place, only three points behind 4th placed Manchester City.

However, things are still looking bleach on the injury front for manager Harry Redknapp, with midfielder Tom Huddlestone set to miss three months with an ankle injury.

He will join the likes of Michael Dawson, Robbie Keane, Giovanni Dos Santos, Ledley King, Jonathan Woodgate, and Jamie O'Hara on the injury list.

All is not lost for Spurs though, with star striker Jermain Defoe having returned to training this week after ankle surgery, and the England international may find himself on the bench for the North London Derby.

Redknapp is also monitoring winger Aaron Lennon's hamstring problem, who could also feature against Arsenal.

Football Match Prediction

Arsenal have generally gotten the better results against Tottenham in this local derby, especially at home.

Last season's match saw the Gunners win 3-0, and Spurs haven't beaten the Gunners at the Emirates in the Premier League since 1993.

This trend looks set to continue, with Arsenal possessing the more consistent form and greater number of first-team players in contention.

However, a bit of magic from the likes of Gareth Bale or Rafael van der Vaart could easily turn the match on it's head, so as always, the North London derby promises to deliver many exciting moments.

Arsenal vs Tottenham prediction: Gunners 3 - 1 Spurs
