Arsenal vs Tottenham Best Booking Codes, Team News, Time & Predicted Line-Ups

The second north London Derby of the 2024/25 English Premier League season is set to take place this Wednesday, promising to deliver yet another exhilarating game in this storied rivalry between Arsenal and Tottenham.

Both teams are currently showing signs of inconsistency and a lack of confidence heading into this game, meaning the need for a good result is required more than ever as both aim to use this as a stepping stone for a strong end to the season.

Wednesday 15 January, 21:00

Emirates Stadium

The Gunners were knocked out of the FA Cup on Sunday after losing  to 10-man Manchester United, while their Carabao Cup hopes are hanging by a thread following Newcastle’s 2-0 win in north London in the first leg of that semi-final tie.

Mikel Arteta’s side have lost their form in front of goal and have little room for mistakes if they are to chase down Liverpool in the Premier League title race.

Bukayo Saka and Ethan Nwaneri remain unavailable, while Riccardo Calafiori is a major doubt after missing the United defeat. Raheem Sterling could be handed a rare start as Arteta looks for a solution on the right wing.

It is one of the biggest matches of the Premier League season and one that Tottenham will be eyeing as a chance for a rare win on rival turf.

Spurs were below par in the FA Cup, needing extra time to edge past non-league Tamworth, but they were impressed in the game before that by beating Liverpool in the Carabao Cup to boost their own trophy hopes.

Consistency has been a problem, though, and they should be cautious of an Arsenal side with a point to prove in front of their home fans.

Arsenal Predicted XI: Raya; Calafiori, Magalhães, Saliba, Timber; Rice, Partey, Ødegaard; Martinelli, Havertz, Sterling

Tottenham predicted XI: Kinsky; Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence; Bissouma, Sarr, Bergvall; Kulusevski, Son, Solanke

Bet9ja Tips

Tottenham are surprisingly the team with more confidence heading into this fixture, having won their Carabao Cup semi-final, but Arsenal are still the favourites given their home advantage, league position, and dominance in this fixture in recent years.

The north London derby should give the Gunners the extra push they need to get over the line with a first win in four matches, and you can get odds of that to happen of 1.36 with Bet9ja.

Bet9ja Odds (at time of writing): Arsenal win: 1.36, Draw: 5.60, Tottenham win: 7.80
