Arsenal vs Tottenham Match Preview

For the 8th matchday of the English Premier League, Arsenal welcomes Tottenham.

Without impressing with their performance, Arsenal easily won 3-0 over Brentford on the road before the International break. They were the team that dominated from the beginning of the match and went to the locker rooms for the break with a two-goal lead. In the replay, they were lucky to score in their first chance and "locked" the three- pointer, continuing their very good start in the league.

Thus, Arsenal reached their 6th victory in 7 matches which keeps them in 1st place in the Premier League with 18 points.

Tottenham continued the good results in their previous match, they easily prevailed 6-2 over Leicester. They conceded first in 6th minute but they immediately equalized and shortly after took the lead. However, just before the break, they conceded the equalizer. In the second half they dominated scoring 4 times prevailing easily over Leicester.

After this outcome, Tottenham with a record of 5 wins and 2 draws, reached 17 points and are tied with Manchester City in 2nd place in the standings.

It's the big North London derby between two teams who have started the league very well. Arsenal have taken advantage of their easy schedule and sits in 1st place, Tottenham for their part are improving their pace as the matches go by. I expect a close match between two teams that can score and impress. My pick is Over 2.5 goals at 1.72 odds.
