On November 6 2016 at 12:00 in the main game of the 11th matchday of the English Premier League at the Emirates stadium Arsenal play against Tottenham.
Arsenal haven’t lost for 9 games in a raw in the national championship and for 14 games in a raw in all tournaments. The victory against Sunderland 1:4 in the latest game proved that their draw against the modest Middlesbrough 0:0 on the 9th matchday was just an accident and didn’t reflect any problems of the team. Before that Arsenal outplayed Swansea 3:2, Burnley 0:1, Chelsea 3:0. As a result, after 10 games played in the English Premier League the Gunners have 23 points and take the second place in the standings with 23:10 goal difference.
Tottenham are not in their best conditions, in fact. They haven’t won for 5 games in a raw in all competitions. After the sensational victory against Manchester City 2:0 they fell into a recession and nobody knows how long it’s going to be. A draw against Leicester in the latest game was their third one in a raw and the fifth one in the season. before that the Spurs shared the points with Bournemouth 0:0 and West Bromwich 1:1. 20 points they gained let Tottenham take the 5th place in the standings with 14:5 goal difference.
In the history of head-to-heads of the teams the Reds won most of the games. Last time they played the teams drew 2:2. Yet, Arsenal haven’t lost to Tottenham at home since 2010 even though the last two games finished with draws 1:1. We must also admit that the victory in 2010 was their only victory at the Arsenal home ground since 1998. Even though Arsenal concede the average of 1 goal per game, they still look better in attack and score twice as more. Tottenham, in their turn, are still the team with the most reliable defense and concede the average of one goal in two games.
Prediction for the match: both teams to score.
