Mikel Arteta's team is in 5th place in the Premier League standings with 35 points after 20 rounds. Arsenal gained 11 victories and two draws and suffered seven defeats. The Gunners have not gained a single victory in the new year. They ended 2021 with a streak of five victories in all competitions, but in January, they managed to lose to Manchester City in the championship (1-2) and left the FA Cup after a defeat to Nottingham Forest (0-1). Last Thursday, Arsenal played against Liverpool in the first leg of the League Cup semifinals. The match at Anfield ended without goals, but the Londoners can be satisfied with this result. From the 24th minute, Arteta's team was one man down because Granit Xhaka was sent off. That didn't stop the Gunners from showing an excellent game in defense and maintaining good chances ahead of the home match on 20 January.
In the 2021/22 season, these bitter rivals crossed paths in the 6th round of the Premier League at the Emirates Stadium on September 26. The Gunners defeated Tottenham (3-1) thanks to goals from Emil Smith-Rowe, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Bukayo Saka. The Spurs responded with an accurate shot from Son Heung-min. Tottenham will probably have a slight advantage in the upcoming game. The Lilywhites have not lost the derby at their native stadium since 2014, and they will be able to count on an almost optimal squad on Sunday. Arsenal put in a lot of effort in the game against Liverpool at Anfield. Hit by heavy staff losses, the Gunners had one day less to recover compared to the Lilywhites. The combination of these factors could negatively affect the freshness of Arteta's men and prevent them from scoring three points at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Prediction for the match: Tottenham to win with 0.0 handicap
