Tottenham Hotspur will be hoping to revive their campaign by ending Arsenal's unbeaten start to the Premier League season, the two sides will meet at the Emirates for the first North London derby of the season on Saturday. Mauricio Pochettino's side are ninth in the league table and without a win out of their last three matches. However, the Spurs did record a League Cup win this week, 3-1 over Nottingham Forest.
Tottenham have no fresh injury concerns, only Kyle Walker remains out of contention as he recovers from abdominal surgery. Ryan Mason has scored his first goal for the club during the Capital One Cup match so he might have a chance to get a place in the squad. Arsenal are unbeaten in the league but they suffered a setback in the League Cup as they were knocked out by Southampton. Last weekend Arsenal grabbed a 3-0 win at Aston Villa, ending a run of three consecutive Premier League draws.
Nacho Monreal could make his return for the Gunners after recovering from a back injury while Mathieu Flamini could also return from a groin injury. The Gunners still have several unavailable players though: Yaya Sanogo, Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott. Arsenal have won four of the last five matches against Tottenham, including two wins last season.
Probable starting line-ups:
Arsenal: Szczesny - Chambers, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal - Arteta, Ramsey, Cazorla, Ozil - Sanchez, Welbeck
Spurs: Lloris - Dier, Kaboul, Chiriches, Rose - Capoue, Dembele, Chadli, Eriksen, Lamela - Adebayor
My prediction: Arsenal to win 2-1.
Here are the odds for the North London Derby at Bet365:
Arsenal win - 3/4 Draw - 29/10 Tottenham win - 4/1

I agree with you Johnny, I think that Arsenal is favourite here, Tottenham have good team, but something is wrong there, they are not at expected level, Wenger is under pressure, fans are expecting more titles, they are hoping for first place, they are good on start of season, but I know that they can better :)

I love Premier league cause it always good for betting. This match ll be very interesting. Tottenham is nice team, but not too great to win Arsenal, first reason is Arsenal play at home, and have wonderful score this year, second history of their matchs are on Arsenals side so that big plus 4 Gunners! My prediction is that...
