The spectacle is guaranteed in the matches between Tottenham and Arsenal, which quite often end in a lot of scored goals. 12 of the last 13 such matches ended with over 2.5 goals. This time Arsenal is 4 points behind Tottenham, so the win is mandatory for the visiting team. This London derby is largely a decisive match for a place in the first four in the standings. After Arsenal failed in all competitions, it seems that the only way the team can please its fans is by getting in the top four. However to achieve this, a win in this game is a must for Wenger`s squad.
The last two London derbies between these two teams resulted in 7 goals - 5:2 and 5:2 in favor of the "Gunners". In both games, however, Arsenal was the host, but this time their task is considerably more difficult, bearing in mind the Tottenham`s perfect recent form and the fact that Arsenal doesn`t have a win in a Premier League match at the White Hart Lane since 2007. Moreover, the great form of Gareth Bale might be disturbing everyone in Arsenal`s squad. Bale has scored 11 goals in his last 10 games in all competitions.
The decisive matches in the Premier League are comming and this is definitely one of them. Undoubtedly the attacking football, practiced by both teams will offer a lot of emotions to the football fans. Wenger's players have a chance to bring joy to their disappointed fans with important three points from this match. Nevertheless, the task before them is extremely difficult and the bookies give the win for Arsenal just around 30% of probability.
