Arsenal welcome Tottenham Hotspurs to the Emirates Stadium, live on Citi 97.3 FM at 3:30pm on Sunday, looking to get back to winning ways following their 3-1 defeat to Liverpool last weekend.
Unai Emery’s men, after a perfect start of winning their opening 2 games, were handed a reality check as they came off second best against one of the favorites to win the Premier League this season.
While you can argue that the gunners lost to a much better team, same cannot be said of Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham who suffered a surprise 1-0 defeat at home to Newcastle United.
With both teams desperate to return to winning ways, it is predictable that this game will be lively to watch.
Arsenal have still got defensive problems, with David Luiz’s introduction to the side doing nothing to calm things; giving away a silly penalty against Liverpool.
Emery was criticized for his selection last weekend when he left Alexander Lacazzette on the bench. Expect the French man to start up front along with Nicolas Pepe and Alexander Lacazzette.
Mesut Ozil has also been declared fit to play, and with his familiarity with this fixture, he could be in contention to start.
Spurs are still struggling to create enough from midfield. Tonguy Ndombele and Moussa Sissoko have not added enough creative spark to the team, and Pochettino will be desperate to address that.
The unsettled Christian Eriksen looks like he will return to the starting line up after being left on the bench surprisingly by Pochettino.
My pick for this game will be to go for goals with Betway pricing over 2.5 goals at 1.53 odds.
If you’re looking to choose a winner, backing Arsenal is what I’ll advise because I just can’t see Spurs beating Arsenal at the Emirates. It’s quite surprise how high the odds for an Arsenal win is, which stand at 2.35 odds on Betway.
If you want to bet on Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min to run Spurs to a win, the odds for a Spurs win stand at 2.88.
The last time the two sides met in the league at the Emirates, the game ended in a pulsating 4-2 victory in favor for Arsenal. For both teams to score, the odds are 1.47.
