How both teams go into Tottenham vs Arsenal
Tottenham will be looking to bounce back from defeat when they return to Premier League action this weekend. It’s been an interesting start to the new season for Ange Postecoglou’s side, with a range of results before the international break.
They opened the campaign with a draw against newly-promoted Leicester City, having led and controlled large parts of that match. Tottenham did get a win on the board in their next game, thrashing Everton 4-0 at home. But the unbeaten start ended as Tottenham were beaten 2-1 by Newcastle United at St James’ Park, continuing their struggles on the road.
Arsenal also saw a run come to an end before the international break, though theirs was for a perfect start. The Gunners won each of their opening league games of the season, extending their winning streak in the competition to eight matches.
Wolves and Aston Villa were both beaten without scoring, and Arsenal’s win over the latter was a big result at Villa Park considering their record last season. Arsenal then led against Brighton last time out but were reduced to 10 men and then conceded, eventually having to settle for a 1-1 draw. The Gunners have, however, won their last five away league games.
Tottenham host Arsenal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday 15th September at 2pm.
Tottenham team news
Yves Bissouma picked up an injury over the international break, having to come off in Mali’s win over Eswatini, and is now a doubt. Richarlison is also expected to miss out, but it shouldn’t be too long before we see the Brazililan return.
Tottenham will be hoping for better news surrounding Micky van de Ven and Dominic Solanke. Solanke has missed Tottenham’s past two games, while Van de Ven was absent from the defeat to Newcastle. But, they are expected to be in with a big chance of featuring.
Arsenal team news
Unfortunately for Arsenal, the absences have totted up over the international break. Declan Rice was already a guarantee to sit out after his red card against Brighton, regardless of discussions over the harshness of the second yellow — and everything surrounding it.
Martin Odegaard has since been added to the list, suffering an injury while on international duty that rules him out for next few weeks at the very least. Riccardo Calafiori also picked up an injury during the break but could still be fit to play. Gabriel Jesus is also a possibility, but Mikel Merino, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney are all out.
Tottenham vs Arsenal head-to-head
Tottenham have won just one of their past seven games against Arsenal in the Premier League — a 3-0 victory in May 2022. Since then, Arsenal have won three of the four matches, with one draw.
