Arsenal vs. Tottenham: Time, TV channel, stream, betting odds for north London derby

A year on from Arsenal beating Spurs 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium, both teams are in a markedly different position as they prepare for the first north London derby of the 2022/23 season.

The neighbours had each lost three of their first six fixtures at that point. A game further on this time, Spurs remain unbeaten and the Gunners are top of the table, winning their sixth out of seven in style by beating Brentford 3-0 away on September 18.

Victory in the early kick-off on Matchday 8 would guarantee either side top spot, although a Spurs win would give reigning champions Manchester City the chance to overtake them with a win at home to Manchester United the following day.

Arsenal vs. Tottenham predicted lineups

As usual after an international break, both managers have fresh injury concerns. Defenders Kieran Tierney (concussion) and midfielder Thomas Partey (knee) are minor doubts after sustaining problems while playing for their countries but full-back Oleksandr Zinchenko and captain Martin Odegaard are expected to return.

Defender Cedric Soares is said to be out for at least a week with a knock picked up during a training session, while midfielders Mohamed Elneny and Reiss Nelson are both out with thigh problems.

Arsenal announced on Thursday that midfielder Emile Smith Rowe has had surgery on a groin issue and will not return until December.

Arsenal predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Ramsdale (GK) — White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko — Vieira, Xhaka — Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli — Jesus

Attacker Lucas Moura missed Tottenham’s 6-2 win at home to Leicester with a calf injury and it is unclear whether the Brazilian will return this weekend.

Argentina defender Cristian Romero and Colombia centre-back Davinson Sanchez are unlikely to both be ready to play 90 minutes after each featuring for their countries in South America on Wednesday night.

Captain Hugo Lloris pulled out of international duty with France because of a thigh injury and defender Ben Davies was absent for Wales with a hairline fracture of a bone under his knee. Both are still thought to be in contention to play.

Spurs manager Antonio Conte has a decision to make over forward Son Heung-min, who scored a 14-minute hat-trick after coming off the bench against Leicester.

Son’s record against Arsenal is only bettered by Harry Kane among current Spurs players and the South Korea talisman scored the only goal of the game for his country against Cameroon in Seoul on Tuesday.

He could replace Richarlison, who scored for Brazil against Tunisia at the Parc des Princes on the same night.

Tottenham predicted lineup (3-4-2-1): Lloris (GK) — Royal, Dier, Lenglet — Perisic, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Sessegnon — Kulusevski, Son — Kane

Arsenal vs. Tottenham betting odds

Home advantage and their position in the table means Arsenal are deemed marginal favourites against a Tottenham side who were considered more likely to challenge at the top of the table by bookmakers before the start of the season.

Tottenham have won on one of their last 29 trips to Arsenal in the Premier League and have lost on their last two visits to the Emirates Stadium, so a draw – keeping Conte’s team firmly within striking distance of top spot – would be a positive result for the away side.
