Arsenal and Tottenham both face a pivotal point in the season as the two heated rivals clash at the Emirates on Wednesday evening.

The two North London derby opponents are both attempting to stay afloat amid lengthy injury lists, which have wreaked havoc on their respective plans for this season.

Arsenal have been unable to capitalize on Liverpool's recent blips in the Premier League title race thanks to their own slip in form.

Tottenham, meanwhile, find themselves 12th in the league table but shocked Liverpool in their recent EFL Cup semifinal first leg and will hope to use that momentum for a timely turnaround.

How this hotly-contested match finishes will likely shape the foreseeable future for both clubs. Either Arsenal get their title race back on track with an emotional victory during a busy run of difficult games, or Tottenham build their one-game scalp of Liverpool into a genuine run of form.

Arsenal vs. Tottenham prediction, odds

Moneyline lean: Draw (+425 on BetMGM)

Score prediction: Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham

Best bet: Tottenham +1.5 goals (-135 on BetMGM)

Often in matches with so much narrative on the line, the end result rides the fence and fails to deliver a true victory to either side.

While it's highly likely that Arsenal take advantage of the many frailties that still exist in Tottenham's setup, the moneyline value here on the Gunners just doesn't exist. With the odds sitting below 1/2 for an outright Arsenal win, the value instead is in tapping into the recent trends.

The Gunners are at the start of the middle of a brutal stretch of games, averaging one match every 3.1 days over the next month including a North London derby, Premier League meetings with Aston Villa and Man City, the final two Champions League matches, and the second leg of their EFL Cup semifinal against Newcastle trailing 2-0 on aggregate. Spurs can very easily take points off a team fighting on so many fronts.

Arsenal vs. Tottenham best bet

Pick: Over 3.5 total goals

Odds: +125 (BetMGM)

Pick: Tottenham 4+ shots on target

Odds: +120 on FanDuel

While the value here isn't as meaty as you'd like for such a high goal threshold, there's plenty of indications that Tottenham can cause enough chaos in this match to result in goals at both ends.

Last time these two teams locked horns in September was just the second time in their past five meetings in which they failed to clear four combined goals. Even then, Tottenham managed to out-shoot Arsenal 15-7 while putting five of those efforts on target. Last time they met at the Emirates, Spurs ripped off two goals from 13 shots – five which were on target – and they managed to put four efforts on Liverpool's net in their recent EFL Cup meeting.

Arsenal vs. Tottenham prop bet

Pick: Dejan Kulusevski to be booked

Odds: +220 (FanDuel)

Pick: Dominic Solanke to be booked

Odds: +600 (FanDuel)

This fixture always features loads of bookings, and while the betting market has finally caught up from a totals perspective, jacking the line to an absurd level (the expected total is somewhere in the vicinity of six combined bookings), there is still some value at the individual level.

Whether he plays on the wing or deeper in midfield, Dejan Kulusevski has committed the most fouls this season of any Spurs player, with three bookings so far. He was cautioned in the previous North London derby this season and the one before it as well near the end of last season.

For a long-shot, Dominic Solanke somehow has managed not to be shown a single yellow card this season despite committing 27 fouls, second-most of any Spurs player in Premier League action this year. He was penalised for a whopping four fouls in the previous meeting between these sides without a caution, and at 6/1 odds, he is a great pick to finally snag his first booking in a game where the cards often fly.

Tottenham on the verge of completing their first January signing

Description

Tottenham Hotspur are making headlines as they edge closer to signing Slavia Prague goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky for £12.5 million.

This young shot-stopper is set to become Spurs' first addition of the January transfer window, stepping into a team facing challenges between the posts.

Spurs have been without their first-choice goalkeeper, Guglielmo Vicario, after the Italian fractured his ankle in November’s 4-0 win over Manchester City.

While Fraser Forster initially impressed as his replacement, recent mistakes have raised concerns. With Forster in the final months of his contract, the club urgently needed reinforcements.

Ange Postecoglou’s other options, Brandon Austin and Alfie Whiteman, are inexperienced at the top level, making Kinsky’s arrival crucial. But who exactly is Tottenham’s newest recruit?

MORE: All the latest Tottenham news | Premier League schedule for 2024/25 | Latest Premier League top scorer rankings

Who is the new Tottenham signing Antonin Kinsky?

Antonin Kinsky, 21, was born in Prague, Czech Republic. He joined Slavia Prague in 2021 for just €160,000 but had to prove himself through three loan spells before breaking into the senior team.

This season, Kinsky has been outstanding for Slavia Prague, making 30 appearances and keeping 14 clean sheets across all competitions. In the Fortuna Liga, he has managed an incredible 12 shutouts from 19 matches, conceding just seven goals.

His performances have been key in Slavia Prague’s seven-point lead at the top of the Czech league.

The 6’3” goalkeeper has also earned call-ups to the Czech Republic national squad in the UEFA Nations League, though he is yet to make his senior debut.

What’s next for Spurs?

Kinsky is expected to start as backup to Forster, with a chance to claim the starting role while Vicario recovers.

Once Vicario returns, Kinsky will likely settle as the team’s second-choice keeper, pushing Forster further down the pecking order.

Spurs join four-way fight for ex-Chelsea star in January transfer window

Description

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly in a heated race to secure ex-Chelsea star and current AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori as the club grapples with a growing defensive crisis.

Ange Postecoglou is under pressure to strengthen his backline after a series of injuries left Spurs struggling to stay competitive.

Tottenham’s defensive problems began in December when key players Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero suffered hamstring injuries during a chaotic 4-3 loss to Chelsea.

Ben Davies, who was expected to return soon, also faced a setback, leaving Spurs without their top-choice defenders.

These issues have forced Postecoglou to rely on young talents like Archie Gray and Radu Dragusin, with Alfie Dorrington also in the mix.

Fans have called on chairman Daniel Levy to act quickly in the January transfer window to save the team’s season, and a potential move for Tomori could be the answer.

Tottenham faces tough competition for Fikayo Tomori

According to reports (via talkSPORT), Tottenham are one of four Premier League clubs eyeing Tomori, alongside Newcastle United, Brentford, and West Ham United.

The 27-year-old, once a key figure in AC Milan’s defense, has fallen out of favor this season, sparking interest from England.

Tottenham’s advantage lies in offering Europa League football, but Newcastle’s push for a Champions League spot could sway the defender.

Brentford and West Ham also present appealing options for Tomori, who is under contract with Milan until 2027.

Milan reportedly values Tomori at £31.5 million but may accept slightly lower offers. For Tottenham, this fee aligns with their spending power, especially given the urgency to reinforce the squad.

With Tottenham slipping into the bottom half of the Premier League, the pressure is mounting.

Signing Tomori could be a crucial step in turning their fortunes around as they prepare to face Newcastle this weekend in a match that could define their season.

Tottenham star Dejan Kulusevski 'in talks' over shock January exit

Tottenham fans may be in for a surprise as Dejan Kulusevski, one of the team's standout players, is rumored to be considering a move away.

The Swedish midfielder has been a key figure for Spurs under Ange Postecoglou, showcasing his talent, especially in their 4-0 win against Manchester City. But despite his contributions, whispers of dissatisfaction have emerged.

Kulusevski, who has impressed as a No. 10 this season, has reportedly grown frustrated with his role in the squad.

With Spurs struggling and sitting 11th in the table as 2025 begins, the player's future in north London is now uncertain. Speculation about his next move has already started, with reports of initial talks happening behind the scenes.

MORE: All the latest Tottenham news | Premier League schedule for 2024/25 | Latest Premier League top scorer rankings

Could Dejan Kulusevski return to Serie A?

The rumors gained traction when MilanLive revealed that AC Milan, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic as a key influencer, has shown interest in Kulusevski.

Ibrahimovic has reportedly reached out to his compatriot, exploring the possibility of bringing him back to Italy. Kulusevski made a name for himself in Serie A, with notable stints at Atalanta, Juventus, and Parma.

Milan are considering a loan deal with a mandatory buy option to secure Kulusevski. However, Tottenham are unlikely to make things easy.

The London club reportedly values the 24-year-old at around £42-50 million ($52-62m), and his contract runs until 2027, giving Spurs a strong negotiating position.

Still, the lure of European football and the chance to reunite with familiar surroundings might tempt Kulusevski. Milan, however, will first need to offload Nigerian forward Samuel Chukwueze to make room for the potential transfer.

Whether he stays or goes, his future will be one to watch as the January transfer window unfolds.

Tottenham vs. Newcastle lineups, expected starting 11, confirmed team news, injuries: Spurs' defensive crisis continues

A depleted Tottenham defence will attempt to keep out one of the Premier League's most in-form attackers when Newcastle United head to north London on Saturday.

Alexander Isak played a starring role once more as the Magpies beat a poor Manchester United 2-0 at Old Trafford on December 30, ensuring Eddie Howe's team ended the calendar year on a run of five straight wins in all competitions.

Spurs were held to a 2-2 draw by Wolves last time out and have only won three of 13 matches since early November. They are eight points and six places behind Newcastle ahead of this fixture — one in which Ange Postecoglou really needs a positive result amid the scrutiny of his methods.

Tottenham vs. Newcastle lineups, predicted starting 11, team news

Spurs' injury concerns were compounded by the loss of Destiny Udogie to a hamstring injury and a setback to Ben Davies' recovery during Christmas week. With Rodrigo Bentancur missing his game due to suspension, Postecoglou's defensive options are looking severely limited.

They will at least have Djed Spence back from a ban, while it is hoped that both Davies and striker Richarlison will be available at some point in January, even if this game comes too soon.

Tottenham predicted lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): Forster (GK) — Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence — Bissouma, Sarr — Johnson, Kulusevski, Son — Solanke

Fabian Schar is banned for the visit to north London after receiving a fifth yellow card of the season in the win at Man United. Kieran Trippier is also a doubt after suffering some discomfort during the match, but otherwise, Eddie Howe does not have any further concerns after that game.

Sven Botman, Emil Krafth and goalkeeper Nick Pope could all make their comebacks in January, but Jamaal Lascelles and Callum Wilson will likely be out a little longer.

Newcastle predicted lineup (4-3-3, right to left): Dubravka (GK) — Livramento, Kelly, Burn, Hall — Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton — Murphy, Isak, Gordon

Injured: Botman (knee), Krafth (shoulder), Pope (knee), Lascelles (knee), Trippier (muscle, doubt), Wilson (hamstring)

Destiny Udogie joins Tottenham injury list: Games Italy star will miss

Submitted by daniel on

Description

Tottenham have suffered yet another injury blow with left-back Destiny Udogie forced off in their 2-2 Premier League draw with Wolves on December 29.

Jorgen Strand Larsen's late equaliser means Ange Postecoglou's side end 2024 with just one win in their last seven EPL games.

Postecoglou was bullish in his post-match comments claiming his players need a break ahead of their January 4 clash with Newcastle United.

MORE: All the latest Tottenham news | Premier League schedule for 2024/25 | Latest Premier League top scorer rankings

Injuries continue to be a major issue for the Australian coach - particularly in defence - with Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven both currently out of action.

Udogie joins the duo in the treatment room, with Postecoglou now without three of his first-choice back four, with Rodrigo Bentancur suspended for the clash with the Magpies and Ben Davies out.

"I think it's a hamstring for Destiny. We've been relying on a core group of players because we haven't had the ability to rotate, so at some point, it was going to catch up with us. Unfortunately, it caught up with Destiny," Postecoglou stated on Udogie's withdrawal against Wolves.

Destiny Udogie injury length, games he will miss

Udogie has been unfortunate with injuries since joining Tottenham in 2023, with the Italy international missing around 12 weeks of action due to various injuries - including surgery in April 2024 - which ended his debut 2023/24 campaign.

Two weeks missed in September was a setback for the current campaign, but this fresh injury is expected to put him out for around six weeks, as Postecoglou looks to rotate.

Spurs are not expected to sign a replacement for the 22-year-old in the January transfer window, and Postecoglou will look for solutions in his squad, including Djed Spence, Davies and the forgotten Sergio Reguilon.

Tottenham face a busy start to 2025 and Udogie will miss games split across multiple competitions, which could rack up to a ten-match absence.

Games Destiny Udogie could miss:

Newcastle United (Home - Premier League): Jan, 4

Liverpool (Home - EFL Cup): Jan, 8

Tamworth (Away - FA Cup): Jan, 12

Arsenal (Away - Premier League): Jan, 15

Everton (Away - Premier League): Jan, 19

Tottenham face a tricky test against a resurgent Wolves after their latest setback against Nottingham Forest. Ange Postecoglou's side has shown flashes of brilliance this season but continues to drop points in games they’re expected to dominate.

Wolves, under new manager Vitor Pereira, have found fresh momentum with back-to-back wins, including a confident 2-0 Boxing Day triumph over Manchester United. Sitting just above the relegation zone, they’re eager to continue climbing.

For Spurs, a win is non-negotiable to ease mounting pressure on Postecoglou. However, Wolves’ newfound grit makes them dangerous prey, especially against a Tottenham side struggling for consistency.

Defence remains the biggest concern for Spurs, with long-standing absentees Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Ben Davies set to potentially be joined by Radu Dragusin. The centre-back was forced off during the Boxing Day loss to Forest with an ankle issue, with Postecoglou admitting "we'll have to wait and see" if he will be able to feature at home to Wolves.

First-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario remains out for some time to come with an ankle injury of his own, furthering the London side's frailties at the back. Djed Spence's suspension for a second booking in Nottingham means there is one more for Postecoglou to have to cope without at the weekend.

Tottenham vs. Wolves lineups, expected starting 11, confirmed team news, injuries: Spurs' defensive woes deepen

Submitted by daniel on

Description

Tottenham may have the worst possible next opponent in the Premier League after once again falling to defeat against Nottingham Forest.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are hovering over the relegation zone but have won both games since the arrival of new manager Vitor Pereira, including an assured 2-0 win over Manchester United on Boxing Day.

Spurs famously thrashed defending champions Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium earlier this season, but the number of points dropped in games they've been widely expected to win — or in which they had been leading during the match itself — could make them the perfect prey for Wolves' rise from the depths.

And with pressure mounting on Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou, a defeat at home to the Midlands side could deal irreversible damage to his job security.
