FORM GUIDE

BETTING

Arsenal square off against Spurs at White Hart Lane in the North London derby and are a top priced 3.25 with bet365 to beat their arch rivals.

Both clubs come into the clash in good form having not lost a single game in their last 5 league fixtures – Arsenal winning 4 and drawing 1, and Spurs having won 3 and drawn 2.

The stats also reveal that Spurs have lost only one of their last seven home games against the Gunners, however Arsene Wenger’s men have won the last two meetings between the sides at Emirates Stadium by 5-2 on each occasion.

A repeat of that scoreline is priced up at a whopping 201 with Betfred for those who believe history repeating itself.

However that probability of that happening is reflected in the huge odds, and a small wager on Arsenal winning 3-2 looks more sensible at odds of 29 with Betfred.

With goals in mind, over 2.5 looks a cracking punt at 1.67 with bet365 as the stats reveal that 12 of the last 13 matches between the two sides have gone over that total.

In the goalscorer markets I like the look of the odds on offer for Olivier Giroud.

He has had more headed attempts than any other player in the top-flight this season (26), could well cause the Spurs backline all sorts of problems with his aerial presence in the box.

At 8 with bet365 and Coral to net the opener and 3.4 with Sky Bet, he looks well worth wager in both markets.
