This Saturday, the derby of North London between Arsenal and Tottenham.
The Spurs are once again on a mission impossible to get the 3 points out of this game since they have failed to do so more than 13 years already.
In fact the last victory for Tottenham was on Arsenal’s old stadium Highbury, in the last match of the season back in May 11th 1993.
Currently Tottenham are taking the 7th spot with 13 games played and a total of 19 points, away record of W2 D1 L3. In their last 4 visits, the Spurs recorded 3 losses and a win. However when it comes to derbies none of this matters.
Why? Because each team gets motivated beyond limit and they perform way better than they have done before.

Jermaine Defoe is expected to return, which is good news for all Tottenham fans, while Rafael van der Vaart is looking forward to play in this derby. He has recently spoken that he has only heard about the beauty of this derby and hopes he can participate in it.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are on the 2nd spot, only 2 points behind the leader Chelsea, and if Chelsea fails against Birmingham and Arsenal wins the 3 points here we can have a new leader in the premier league.
Arsenal have currently 26 points in 13 games, home record of W4 D0 L2,where their last home game against Newcastle ended as a 0:1 loss. Arsenal hasn’t lost all points to Tottenham in more than 17 years, and has won the last game here with 3:0 last year.
Despite Arsenal’s domination on this stadium, I consider the game 3way, meaning that it can go either way. Tottenham’s players seem eager for a win, the question is will they be able to finally get it. From a betting point of view, I would take the highest odds in a derby any day, because of the probabilities.
Personally I think Arsenal are underpriced here, thus not worth going for the home victory. Instead, I would take “Both Teams To Score – Yes”, Arsenal has kept only 1 clean sheet in the last 6 home games, while Tottenham hasn’t kept any in the last 6 away games.
