Match Preview:
Scoring goals, winning games and keeping clean sheets for fun as the autumnal evenings set in, Arsenal finally found their match in the shape of newly-promoted Sunderland just before the international break, when a former Hale End flame stopped Mikel Arteta's train in its tracks.

Not Granit Xhaka, but Daniel Ballard inspired the Black Cats to a hard-earned share of the spoils at the Stadium of Light, breaking Arsenal's 812-minute sequence without conceding a goal before flicking on a header for Brian Brobbey to convert an astonishing late leveller.

Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard's fine second-half finishes were only sufficient for one point for the league leaders, who still hold a four-point buffer over closest rivals Manchester City, but that will reduce to one if the Sky Blues take down Newcastle United on Saturday evening.

While Arsenal are aiming to win six straight Premier League home games without conceding for the first time since 2008, Tottenham visit enemy territory boasting an unrivalled away record, taking a terrific 13 points from 15 available on the road this term.

Supporters fortunate enough to make the away days frequently have more to cheer than the disgruntled home crowd, whose side were coincidentally also pegged back by a last-minute goal in a 2-2 stalemate in gameweek 11.

Matthijs de Ligt's heartbreaking header for Manchester United denied Tottenham the chance to potentially rise as high as third in the Premier League table - instead, Thomas Frank's troops reside in fifth spot, eight points adrift of their league-leading opponents this weekend.

A point against Ruben Amorim's men still represented an improvement on Spurs' atrocious 1-0 loss to Chelsea, when they generated their lowest-ever Expected Goals total on record in a Premier League match, and only five sides have a lower xG total than their 11.7 all season long.

Match Prediction: Arsenal 1-0 Tottenham Hotspur
Both Arsenal and Spurs' set-piece mastery will be put to the test on Sunday; no side has scored more than the Gunners' 10 dead-ball goals in the 2025-26 Premier League, while no team has conceded fewer than Tottenham's two.

So many unknowns remain thanks to Arteta's quintessentially unhelpful team news update, and it may take just the one goal to decide this North London derby.

If that is the case, Arsenal and their enviable strength in depth have our backing to claim it, as even a rejigged backline should quell a Tottenham team and their familiar build-up problems.
