 BetVictor is offering a tempting 11/4 if you think a draw could be on the cards for this match.

Arsenal

Expect to see Olivier Giroud leading the Arsenal attack as he has been in fine form for the club in recent matches. Boylesports is offering 11/2 that Giroud will score the first goal of the game and 7/4 that he will score at any point during the match.

Arsenal will be hoping to dominate possession in this game which will give them a better chance of a big victory against their local rivals. Arsenal to win by two goals is a real possibility considering the injuries Tottenham have and the price of 5/1 with Sky Bet is tempting.

Arsenal will be looking for a fast start which will keep Spurs on the back foot. The Gunners are at their very best when they attack from the off and play to their natural urges. BetVictor is offering 13/20 that Arsenal will be the first team to score in the match.

Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs have a few injury worries for this match which means they are likely to contain the pressure and play on the counter attack. Gareth Bale looks a fantastic price to score the first goal at 12/1 with BetVictor. Also expect Jermain Defoe to feature if he’s fit with 8/1 available from Boylesports on the striker scoring before anyone else.

Spurs would love to steal a narrow win and 1-0 is 20/1 with BetVictor. They can learn from the way QPR defended when they lost 1-0 against Arsenal and know that the match is there for the taking if they can withstand the spells of pressure that Arsenal are bound to put together.

Tottenham will simply try to withstand any early onslaught from Arsenal before stealing the match late on. The first-half to be drawn but Spurs to win the second-half is a best price of 19/2 with BetVictor.
