The Gunners Arsenal managed to bring down 10 Tottenham Hotspur players.

Jump to:

Arsenal completed their revenge in the first meeting, when they managed to overthrow Tottenham 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium, Monday morning (15/03) WIB.

The Gunners fell behind first through rabona Erik Lamela’s kick exactly half an hour of the game. Arsenal were able to equalize through Martin Odegaard’s kick which hit Toby Alderweireld before entering the goal of Lloris.

Mikel Arteta’s foster children got a breath of fresh air when Alexandre Lacezette was dropped by Davinson Sanchez in the forbidden box. Lacazette, who went on his own as an executioner, was able to do his job well.

Before the match ended, Erik Lamela was forced to shower faster after receiving a second yellow card from the referee.

With this victory, Arsenal still did not move from 10th place in the EPL standings. Meanwhile, Tottenham was stuck in seventh place.

Arsenal Squad Predictions

Mikel Arteta will defend the squad that won away to Greece during their clash with Olympiacos. However, Emile Smith Rowe is back from injury, meaning manager Mikel Arteta has a full squad ahead of the derby clash.

Nicolas Pepe is likely to continue his game from the bench as in the previous two matches. That way, Willian will be maintained in the left sector of the team’s attack. Meanwhile Calum Chambers performed well against Burnley last week and he could have been selected in the second half.

Position Estimated starting lineup for Arsenal (4-2-3-1)
Goalkeeper Leno
Defender Bellerin, Luiz, Gabriel, Tierney
Defender Partey, Xhaka
Saka, Odegaard, Willian
Striker Aubameyang

Predictions of the Tottenham Hotspur Squad

Once doubtful about taking part in the derby due to a knee injury after the match against Dinamo Zagreb, the Spurs frontman, Harry Kane, seems to be in a fit condition and will be played from the early minutes by Jose Mourinho.

The manager is also believed to be changing his line-up from the party versus Crystal Palace some time ago by fielding Aurier and Ndombele, respectively shifting Matt Doherty and Harry Winks in the team team.

Position Estimated lineup for Tottenham Hotspur’s first team (4-2-3-1)
Goalkeeper Lloris
Defender Aurier, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Reguillon
Defender Hojbjerg, Ndombele
Bale, Moura, Heung-Min
Striker Kane

Preview

Now, Tottenham are starting to improve. Of the last four clashes, they were able to score four goals in three of them. Mourinho really enjoyed the jump in his squad.

The reason is that the 2020/21 period was quite a difficult season for the Portuguese tactician. He must find his troops experiencing inconsistencies that drop the team to seventh position in the standings after competing in the championship race.

The exploitation of the White Lili children could have stopped in this match, considering that Arsenal have big ambitions to maintain their impressive record when serving their city rivals at their own headquarters.

Arsenal have tasted only two defeats in 35 home games against the Spurs [M19, I14].

It’s just like the Spurs. It’s hard to believe Arsenal’s consistency throughout this season. Indeed, recently they are being fierce, especially after defeating Olympiacos 3-1 in Greece.

However, it seems naive to expect Arsenal to always gain positive results from week to week.

Prediction: Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham Hotspur
