Tottenham at Arsenal 9/1/19 - Premier League Picks & Predictions

The first North London Derby of the season will take place this Sunday, when Arsenal will play host to Tottenham. Both teams are coming off losses last weekend and they will both look to bounce back to winning ways.

Tottenham (1-1-1) played a mediocre match at home against Newcastle last week and paid the price. They did create a lot of scoring chances but struggled to get shots on the opposing target. They eventually lost by 1-0 at home and failed to keep a clean sheet for the third consecutive match. They are now sitting at the 7th spot of the Premier League with 4 points, having scored five goals, against four conceded. Foyth, Sessegnon and Ndombele are missing, while Walker-Peters is questionable.

Arsenal (2-1-0) are coming off a pretty bad loss on the road against Liverpool. Their opponents were better throughout the whole match and had already scored three goals before the 60th minute. Arsenal eventually lost by 1-3 and that loss came after two consecutive wins in the first two matches of the season. Arsenal are now sitting at the 3rd spot of the Premier League with 6 points, three behind the top spot. They will be missing Bellerin, Mavropanos, Tierney and Holding in this match.

Arsenal have been tremendous as hosts against Tottenham over the past two decades, losing just two of the 26 matches (16-2-8). Neither team has been good at the back so far, but they are both strong up front. I expect to see goals from both sides here, and I will go with the Over 3 Goals.
