Arsenal Form
Tottenham Form
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur kicks off on 23/11/2025 at 4:30pm at the Emirates Stadium in North London, and it already feels like one of the standout fixtures of the season. It’s the first North London Derby of the campaign, the atmosphere will be electric, and the stakes couldn’t be higher for both sides. Form, confidence, and momentum all seem to be pointing Arsenal’s way, so a natural talking point right from the start is the Arsenal vs Tottenham prediction, and whether Spurs can slow down a team that hasn’t been giving much away to anyone.
Arsenal come into this derby flying. Mikel Arteta’s side are top of the league, unbeaten at home, and looking every bit the title contenders they want to be. Their recent 2-2 draw with Sunderland was frustrating, especially given how comfortable they were for large parts of that game, but it hasn’t changed the overall picture. They’ve been tough to break down, ruthless in key moments, and consistent — something that’s made them so difficult to deal with this season.
There is one big concern for the Gunners, though: Gabriel’s injury. The defender could be out for a month or two, which is obviously not ideal heading into a derby. Still, Arteta has options. Cristhian Mosquera has stepped in before and shown he can handle these situations, so while losing Gabriel is a blow, it doesn’t completely derail their plans.
On the positive side, Bukayo Saka looks sharp again. After a tricky injury-hit start to the season, he’s rediscovering rhythm and confidence, with goals in each of his last two Arsenal appearances. When he’s on it, this entire team just breathes differently.
Tottenham’s situation is a little more complicated. Thomas Frank has drawn criticism for a style of play that some fans see as too cautious. Spurs have had trouble creating chances and have failed to score in several recent matches. Their approach — deliberately avoiding central progression — has made them predictable going forward.
But there are positives. Their away form has been one of the bright spots of the season, and they’ve already shown they can pick off strong opponents on the road. Still, against an Arsenal side that barely gives you any space, Spurs will need far more creativity than they’ve shown lately.
No major fresh injury setbacks were mentioned for Tottenham, and the squad appears to be at normal availability heading into the derby.

So, here’s what we’re looking at: Arsenal are in strong form, they’re dominating teams defensively, and they’re playing at home where they haven’t conceded in a long stretch. Spurs, meanwhile, are inconsistent, lacking spark, and struggling to break down compact sides.
With all that in mind, the angle feels pretty straightforward:
Given everything we’ve seen from both sides, Arsenal should control most of this game. They’ll have the ball, they’ll pin Spurs back, and their wide threats — especially Saka — should cause issues.
Tottenham’s cautious structure might keep things tight for a while, but unless they find a spark they haven’t shown much of recently, it’s hard to picture them breaking Arsenal down often enough to tilt the result.
Match Prediction: Arsenal to win. Bet with bet365.
Arsenal 2-0 Tottenham looks the most realistic outcome. The Gunners have been excellent defensively, and Spurs’ recent attacking struggles don’t inspire much confidence.

Based on form and recent meetings, Palace have the stronger case to take all three points.
It’s highly possible. Five of their last six meetings have seen both score.
Yes. These two usually produce goals, and Wolves’ recent defensive record only adds to that expectation.
They can score, but keeping Palace out looks like the real challenge.
