Key Points:
- Arsenal host Tottenham in the North London Derby on Wednesday night.
- Both teams are struggling with injuries, but Spurs come in with momentum from recent cup wins.
- Arsenal are in poor form, with back-to-back defeats in domestic cups, while Spurs sit mid-table in the Premier League.
Match Overview
The North London Derby always promises drama, and Wednesday night’s clash at the Emirates is no exception.
Arsenal, plagued by injuries and a lack of clinical finishing in front of goal, find themselves at a crossroads. Their title hopes are slipping away, and a loss here could deal a fatal blow to their season. Spurs, meanwhile, are enduring their own injury crisis but enter the game buoyed by cup success and improved defensive cohesion under Ange Postecoglou.
Despite their struggles, Arsenal’s superior recent form against Spurs gives them hope. However, with both teams facing significant challenges, this could be a tightly contested affair.

Team News
Arsenal:
Injuries continue to pile up for the Gunners. Gabriel Jesus’ ACL injury in the FA Cup is the latest blow. Bukayo Saka, Ethan Nwaneri, Ben White, and Takehiro Tomiyasu are all unavailable. Riccardo Calafiori is doubtful, and Myles Lewis-Skelly may deputize at left-back. Jorginho and Jurrien Timber, who picked up knocks against Man Utd, are expected to be fit.
Predicted Lineup (4-3-3):
Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Partey, Rice, Odegaard; Sterling, Havertz, Martinelli.
Tottenham:
Spurs are also battling injuries, with Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Guglielmo Vicario, Wilson Odobert, and Destiny Udogie sidelined. Rodrigo Bentancur will miss out after a concussion, but Richarlison and Ben Davies may return to the squad. Young goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky is expected to make his third start.
Predicted Lineup (4-3-3):
Kinsky; Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence; Bissouma, Bergvall, Maddison; Kulusevski, Solanke, Son.
Score Prediction
Arsenal’s inability to convert chances continues to hinder their progress, and Saka’s absence exacerbates their problems in the final third. Spurs, despite their struggles, have shown resilience and defensive improvement under Postecoglou.
A cagey affair is expected, with late drama likely deciding the outcome. Arsenal’s home advantage may tilt the balance, but a draw seems the most probable result.
Prediction: Arsenal 1-1 Tottenham
