Arsenal Vs Tottenham: The Best London Derby

The 143rd North London league derby and 160th competitive meetingย between Arsenal and Tottenham is taking place on a Wednesday night for the first time in nine yearsย in whatย is bound to be an atmospheric Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal, who are currently fourth, have just come off a well deserved victory over West Hamย while Tottenham have justย earned their first league win, with new coach Harry Redknapp they are bound to be pumped and ready.

Arsenal have scored 18 goals in nine games while Tottenham have scored a measly seven.

Although it is always tough to win at the Emirates, Arsenal are beatable there having alreadyย lost to Hull City this season.

Arsenal have scored 38 in all competition with their stunning star strikers Robin van Persie and Emmanuel Adebayor netting 14 of them.

Arsenal have been poor in games this season, inย their last 2 home games they have been strong and dominant and with a pretty much full team it is hard to bet against them.

Possibleย Squad: Almunia, Sagna, Gallas, Toure, Clichy, Walcott, Fabregas, Song, Nasri, Adebayor, van Persie, Fabianski, Denilson, Ramsey, Djourou, Silvestre, Diaby, Bendtner.

Tottenham have been terrible at timesย this season, which is odd because they do boast a team with talented players. Tottenham have scoredย 10 goals in 12 games with their strikes only being able to boast seven goals.

Possibleย Squad: Gomes, Cesar, Hutton, Bale, Gilberto, Stalteri, Gunter, Corluka, King, Assou-Ekotto, Woodgate, Zokora, Bentley, Huddlestone, Lennon, Jenas, Modric, Ghaly, Taarabt, Boateng, O'Hara, Pavlyuchenko, Bent, Giovani, Campbell.

My Prediction: An in form Arsenal vs a struggling injury-plaguedย Tottenham and with Adebayor and van Persie playing like they are, its got to be an Arsenal win.

Arsenalย 4-0 Tottenham(van Persie (2), Adebayor, Nasri)
