Arsenal is only 6th in the ranking, 19 points, four behind Tottenham (3rd place, goal 20-7). Even if the two have scored the same number of goals so far, here are the “guns” have already collected 16 goals, compared to the 7 received by Spurs.

Alexis Sanchez has little chance to play

The balance of direct duels is evident in recent years, since Tottenham has become a force of the championship. In 3 of the last 4 straight games the final score was equal, 1-1, 2-2 and 1-1. At the last straight game Tottenham was forced home, scoring 2-0 in April. Since then Tottenham has progressed, while Arsenal does not! Moreover, the disturbances surrounding Alexis Sanchez hit the interests of the team and the only ray of light seems to be Alexandre Lacazette.

“Tuners”, due to failure after Manchester City

Wenger’s main problem is the lack of consistency, because “guns” alternate impressive results with lamentable failures, and disappointments are normally due to a defensive defensive. Manchester City’s Manchester United defeats last season, when Guardiola’s team defeated 3-1 and dominated categorically.

However, Arsenal is strong on the ground, winning the last 10 matches, scoring at least two goals in eight of these games. Arsenal’s last 4 matches have scored at least 3 goals and Tottenham promises to be an opponent with 5 wins in the last 6 league matches.

THE PROBABLE TEAMS

Arsenal: Cech – Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal – Bellerin, Ramsey, Xhaka, Kolasinac – Ozil, Sanchez – Lacazette.

Tottenham: Lloris – Aurier, Dier, Sanchez, Vertonghen – Dembele, Winks – Alli, Eriksen, B. Davies – Kane.
