How the teams line up

Confirmed line-ups arrive about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Arsenal

One of the league's best sides. Arsenal should have most of the ball in front of their own fans at Emirates Stadium, so the question is whether Spurs can stay compact for 90 minutes.

Away

Tottenham Hotspur

A strong, well-drilled team. Spurs tend to win games on the road at Emirates Stadium by controlling midfield rather than overwhelming opponents.

Match preview

Tottenham Hotspur visit Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal in the 2026/27 Premier League. As the North London derby, it carries extra edge, and derbies are usually tighter than the table suggests. Arsenal get a 62% rating from our model, which expects 1.77 goals from Arsenal and 0.75 from Spurs. Check the team sheets, released roughly an hour before kick-off, because one absence can shift the odds more than anything else.
