Tottenham take on the visitors Arsenal in the round 27 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, February 22nd at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London).
Tottenham finally lifted a trophy in 2025, ending a long drought in style by winning the Europa League rather than a minor competition. As a result, even a 17th-place finish in the previous Premier League campaign still allowed them to return to the Champions League, where they have actually performed well and reached the play-offs as part of the top eight. However, on the domestic front, things have looked problematic even under Thomas Frank. The team exited both domestic cups very early, and after an optimistic start in the Premier League, their form faded badly, with very few wins during the winter period. Eventually, following a defeat to Newcastle, the Danish coach was dismissed, and Tudor has now taken over on a short-term basis until the summer. Recent league results suggest instability rather than progress, especially in consistency. At home, though, Tottenham still tend to raise their level in high-profile matches.

Arsenal look incredibly strong. The Gunners have clearly continued to grow under Arteta. The only thing missing before was a major title, as they finished second in the Premier League three times in a row, losing out to City and Liverpool. This season, however, almost everything has gone right. In the Champions League, they posted a perfect record by winning all eight matches of the league phase. They also reached the League Cup final, including two semi-final victories over Chelsea. Unsurprisingly, the Premier League remains the top priority, where they led the table from the start and managed to maintain sole leadership for a long time. Recently, though, warning signs have appeared, with a loss to Brentford and a late 2–2 draw against struggling Wolverhampton. As a result, most of their points cushion has disappeared, adding pressure ahead of this derby.
The Spurs last defeated their rivals in an official match back in 2022. Since then, they have suffered six defeats and managed just one draw. A visit to their main rival could be the perfect moment to stop the wobble. The expectation is that the Gunners will rise to the occasion and win this crucial match.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win.
