How the teams line up

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

Home

Tottenham Hotspur

A strong, well-drilled team. Spurs tend to win games in front of their own fans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium by controlling midfield rather than overwhelming opponents.

Away

Arsenal

A title-level side, Arsenal will expect to dominate possession on the road at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs need discipline for the full 90 minutes.

Match preview

Arsenal visit Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to face Tottenham Hotspur in the 2026/27 Premier League. As the North London derby, it carries extra edge, and derbies are usually tighter than the table suggests. We project 1.23 expected goals for Spurs against 1.20 for Arsenal, and that gap drives our 37% rating for Spurs. Team news lands about an hour before kick-off, and a key absence can move this more than anything else, so check the line-ups before you bet.
