On Sunday, January 15, 2023, Tottenham will play host to Arsenal in the second North London Derby of the year. The Gunners won the first meeting 3-1 at the Emirates, so here are some match previews, head-to-head stats, and a possible starting lineup.
Team News
Emile Smith Rowe is back and available for Arsenal; he played 15 minutes in the team’s 3-0 victory over League One opponent Oxford. Bukayo Saka was substituted in the Oxford match after picking up a knock, but Mikel Arteta has said that the player is fine and has no serious injuries.
Current form
At the moment, they are at the top of their game. In their last six Premier League games, they have only lost one point—a 0-0 draw with Newcastle. In the FA Cup, they easily defeated Oxford, so going into the North London Derby, the Gunners have momentum on their side.
