Football review Arsenal vs Tottenham: Battle at Emirates

Arsenal have been on fire in recent games. Before this round, they were fourth in the table but level on points with Liverpool and Tottenham. The Gunners have only dropped two points since the start of the season, which came against Fulham. That time, they conceded a goal in the final minutes and missed out on a win.

The impressive form of Mikel Arteta's team is the result of the style of play they built last season. This season, they have been further improved thanks to the presence of midfielder Declan Rice.

The England international has brought a breath of fresh air to the Gunners' midfield. He defends well and deals well. Declan Rice is making Arsenal fans forget about Granit Xhaka's departure or Thomas Partey's injury.

Declan Rice is playing very well in his new shirt.

Besides, the pillars like Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Oleksandr Zinchenko, William Saliba still maintain stability. The factors on the bench like Trossard or Nketiah know how to shine when trusted.

However, the London derby with Tottenham has never been easy for the Gunners. Even this season, the Roosters have played as well as Arsenal.

New coach Postecoglou has given the team a new look. They play an attacking game - unlike the style of Mourinho or Conte in recent years. Tottenham have scored 13 goals this season, only bettered by Man City and Brighton.

Tottenham's form has made many people forget that they have just said goodbye to Harry Kane. This striker and Son Heung-min have played an indispensable role in the Spurs attack for more than 5 years. However, coach Postecoglou has created a new source of inspiration to replace Kane, James Maddison.

Maddison is returning to his best form during his brilliant years with Leicester City. After 5 matches, the 26-year-old midfielder has scored 2 goals and assisted 2 times. The August Player of the Month award is a recognition of Maddison's efforts in recent times. In addition, coach Postecoglou also received the August Coach of the Month award.

With both Arsenal and Tottenham in high form, the match at Emirates promises to be a feast of attacking football, with unpredictable developments.
