Arsenal, currently top of the Premier League and unbeaten in the Champions League, travel to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a high‑stakes derby that could decide the title race. The match comes after a 2‑0 loss to Wolves, where a late equaliser exposed the Gunners' struggle to maintain leads and sparked criticism from rivals.
With Mikel Arteta's side having drawn their last two league games and only one win in seven Premier League matches, the derby is seen as a test of nerve. Tottenham, who have won only two of 13 league games this term, offer a hostile environment that could expose Arsenal's so‑called “bottle” character.
