The north London Derby between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal is always one of the fiercest fixtures in English football - but Sunday's meeting at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium carries enormous weight at both ends of the Premier League table.

Arsenal arrive knowing victory is essential to remain atop the table and maintain control of the title race. With Manchester City breathing down their necks, any slip-up could prove costly.

For Tottenham, the pressure is very different - but just as intense. Spurs need a win to create breathing room and avoid being dragged deeper into the relegation fight.

With the above in mind - let's take a look at the key markets on offer with Sky Bet for this pivotal match-up.

Firstly, regarding the head-to-head odds - it is Arsenal who are tipped to come away with the win, with Mikel Arteta's side priced at a short 1/2.

Conversely, Spurs are 5/1 underdogs to cause the upset at home, while a draw is valued at 16/5.

The Gunners boast a fantastic record against Tottenham in recent years, winning six of their last seven against their rivals, with the other fixture resulting in a draw.

Meanwhile, if you're after more detailed bets - there are four Price Boosts on offer courtesy of Sky Bet.

They include Xavi Simons to have 1+ shots on target at 13/10, Viktor Gyokeres to score 1+ goals at 13/8, Micky van de Ven to commit 3+ fouls at 7/1, and Arsenal to have 9+ shots on target at 9/1.

Simons has seven shots on target in his last eight games across all competitions, while Gyokeres has three goals in his last four Premier League matches.

Additionally, Van de Ven committed four fouls when the two sides met earlier in season.
