Preview
- Tournament: Premier League
- Date: Sunday, September 15
- Kick-off Time: 1:00 pm GMT
- Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London
The biggest fixture of the weekend in the Premier League will be Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal after a break of one week from club football. The North London Derby is always an occasion of fireworks and multiple talking points, with no signs of that changing this season. Arsenal currently has the edge with 82 victories compared to Spurs’ 61. Australian referee, Jarred Gillett will take the duty of officiating the game.
Tottenham’s start to the season has been filled with mixed results. In the opening three games, Ange Postecoglou and his men have managed a solitary victory with a draw and a defeat. Spurs bounced back from the 1-1 draw against Leicester City with a 4-0 thrashing of Everton. Just when the momentum began to come back, Newcastle United handed Spurs its first defeat of the 2024/25 campaign two weeks ago. Postecoglou’s side has already lost the pace in the Premier League and currently sit at the tenth spot with just four points.
Arsenal’s 1-1 draw to Brighton & Hove Albion ended the club’s perfect start to the season. The Gunners have looked like serious title contenders so far. Mikel Arteta will need his side to continue this great run of form to stay close to the summit in the points table. The attacking threat of Arsenal will be the key difference maker, having scored 11 goals in their last five outings. The club sits at the fourth spot in the table with seven points.

Ange Postecoglou will be delighted to see the return of Micky van de Ven and Dominic Solanke. The latter has appeared in only one match so far since his summer move from Bournemouth. Richarlison will remain on the sidelines due to a muscle injury. Spurs will continue with its usual 4-2-3-1 formation with Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr forming the double pivot. James Maddison will complete the midfield three as an advanced playmaker.

Key Players to Watch in Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal
James Maddison (Tottenham Hotspur)
The 27-year-old was not a part of the English camp during the international break which will have him fit and sharp on Sunday. Maddison got an assist each in the opening two games of the season and was one of the few bright spots during the Newcastle defeat. He has created the most big chances so far this season for Tottenham Hotspur. James Maddison will be asked to operate between the lines and be the main creative force in the XI. The former Leicester man has two goals and four assists previously against Arsenal.
Raheem Sterling (Arsenal)
Raheem Sterling completed a move from London rivals, Chelsea in the summer. Sterling is a seasoned international in the Premier League and is a great acquisition for Mikel Arteta. Arsenal fans are curiously awaiting to know the winger’s role in the team. Sunday’s match selection should be a good teaser of what the 2024/25 season holds for Raheem Sterling. He is expected to start over Gabriel Martinelli on the left flank. Sterling has a productive record against Spurs with 13 goal contributions in 24 games.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal Prediction
The recent head-to-head record between the two sides makes Arsenal the team to bet on. Last season’s runners-up are in a much more stable position as compared to Tottenham. The midfield superiority of Arsenal should be enough for them to outplay Spurs. Vicario can expect to have a busy night between the goalposts. Even with several key absentees, Mikel Arteta will be confident to secure a good performance and the three points on Sunday.
