Arsenal vs Tottenham: Predictions, Betting odds, Lineups, Preview

Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Arsenal vs Tottenham in the Premier League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 16:30 GMT match.

• Fixture: Arsenal vs Tottenham

• Date: Sunday, 23 November 2025

• Kick-off: 16:30 GMT

• Venue: Emirates Stadium

Given Arsenal's recent form, they're coming into this North London Derby with confidence. They've managed to secure four wins out of their last five games, showing a solid defensive record with three clean sheets. Their ability to grind out 1-0 victories against Crystal Palace and Fulham suggests they can control games and limit Tottenham's attacking threats. However, the draw against Sunderland indicates they can be vulnerable, especially away from home.

Tottenham, on the other hand, have had a mixed bag of results. Their recent draw against Manchester United and loss to Chelsea at home show they can struggle against top teams. Yet, their convincing 3-0 win over Everton away from home proves they have the firepower to cause problems for Arsenal. This match could be a tight affair, with both teams looking to exploit any weaknesses, but Arsenal's consistency might just give them the edge.

"It's a privilege to play in this kind of game so we cannot wait to get to Sunday". Mikel Arteta (14:43 GMT 21:11:25)

"I'm very confident in the team going into the game on Sunday". Thomas Frank (14:58 GMT 21:11:25)

Arsenal's recent form has been impressive, with four wins in their last five games. Their ability to keep clean sheets in three of those victories highlights a strong defensive unit, which could be crucial against a Tottenham side that has shown inconsistency.

The draw against Sunderland might be a concern, but overall, their form suggests they are well-prepared for this derby. With key players like Saka and Rice in good shape, Arsenal should be confident heading into this match.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Draw: 2-2 vs Sunderland (A)

• Win: 2-0 vs Burnley (A)

• Win: 1-0 vs Crystal Palace (H)

• Win: 1-0 vs Fulham (A)

• Win: 2-0 vs West Ham (H)

Tottenham's recent results have been a rollercoaster, with two wins, two losses, and a draw in their last five games. Their home form has been particularly shaky, losing to Chelsea and drawing with Manchester United, which could be a worry going into this away game against Arsenal.

However, their 3-0 win over Everton shows they can be clinical when they get it right. If they can find that form again, they might just pull off a surprise, but consistency will be key.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Draw: 2-2 vs Manchester United (H)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Chelsea (H)

• Win: 3-0 vs Everton (A)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Aston Villa (H)

• Win: 2-1 vs Leeds (A)

The head-to-head record between Arsenal and Tottenham shows a closely contested rivalry. In their most recent friendly, Tottenham edged out a 1-0 victory, but Arsenal have had the upper hand in competitive fixtures, winning three out of the last five encounters.

The most notable result was Arsenal's 3-2 win at Tottenham's ground in April 2024. This history suggests that while Tottenham can occasionally surprise, Arsenal have been the more dominant side in recent competitive meetings.

Mikel Arteta has confirmed centre-back Gabriel has suffered an injury on Brazil duty and will be sidelined for “weeks”, calling it a big blow given his leadership in Arsenal’s back line. A further scan next week will clarify the exact timescale. Arteta was typically guarded on the rest of his injured stars – including Viktor Gyokeres, Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Noni Madueke and Martin Ødegaard – saying the medical team have worked hard over the break and that final decisions will be made after Saturday’s training session.

“Gabriel has unfortunately picked up an injury with Brazil and he's going to be out for weeks… It's clear it's a blow because it's our leader in the back line. To lose him is never a good thing but the positive is that we have very good options and people have to stand up now and do the job.” Mikel Arteta

Frank admits Arsenal are flying at the top of the table but insists Spurs are ready to compete and treat this derby as one of the standout fixtures of their season.

"I'm very confident in the team going into the game on Sunday.

"Big respect against a good team, currently, and we don't like it, but Arsenal are top of the table by a distance."

"They've been good for a few years but we have to turn that around. It's one game on Sunday, one game where I'm convinced we will compete a lot." Thomas Frank
