How to watch Tottenham vs Arsenal live
The north London derby between Tottenham and Arsenal will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League on Sunday 15th September at 2pm.
How both teams go into Tottenham vs Arsenal
Tottenham will be looking to bounce back from defeat when the Premier League returns from the international break. It’s been an interesting start to the new season for Tottenham, with a range of results.
They opened with a draw against newly-promoted Leicester City, having led and controlled large parts of that match. Tottenham then opened their home account with a 4-0 thrashing of Everton. 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. 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
Tottenham will be hoping for positive news surrounding Micky van de Ven and Dominic Solanke by the time this game comes around. Solanke has missed Tottenham’s past two games, while Van de Ven was absent from the defeat to Newcastle.
Richarlison may have to wait a little longer for his return, with Son Heung-min, Brennan Johnson and Wilson Odobert likely to form the attack.
Arsenal team news
The biggest news from Arsenal’s draw with Brighton was the red card for Declan Rice. The Englishman was sent off for two yellows, the second for kicking the ball away just after half-time. His first red card, Rice will now have to sit out of this north London derby, regardless of discussions over the harshness of the second yellow — and everything surrounding it.
But Arsenal will hope to have Kieran Tierney and Gabriel Jesus available for this game — should the former be on the squad list. Loan signing Raheem Sterling will also be available, but Mikel Merino remains sidelined due to injury. Takehiro Tomiyasu is also injured.
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.
