Commentary on the match Arsenal vs Tottenham, 11:30 p.m. November 23: The championship race heats up from the London derby

VHO - Commentary on the match Arsenal vs Tottenham, round 12 of the Premier League, hosting a tough neighboring opponent but coach Arteta and his team are likely to still complete the goal of 3 points.

Arsenal vs Tottenham form

Arsenal's winning streak was unexpectedly cut short in the last round. Visiting the Stadium of Light, coach Mikel Arteta and his team were full of confidence, carrying with them a 10-match winning streak and not conceding any goals.

Despite Daniel Ballard scoring first in the 36th minute, The Gunners were not deterred. Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard respectively shone to bring the match back to the familiar winning trajectory for the Gunners.

But when everyone started to think about the next 3 full points belonging to the London giants, Brian Brobbey brought an explosive moment at The Light, with a brave jump and finish.

Leaving the Northeast with a regrettable 2-2 draw, Arsenal let their most dangerous opponent, Man City, reduce the gap to only 4 points. The gap is no longer too big and will certainly create some pressure on coach Arteta and his students.

Once the spirit is disturbed, maintaining the stable performance as in the previous period promises to be difficult. Especially when the Emirates team is about to enter a difficult period of the schedule. After the North London derby with Tottenham, Arsenal will face Bayern Munich and Chelsea in turn.

Compared to previous seasons, Arsenal have probably matured and thanks to reasonable investments in personnel, The Gunners are ready to face the challenge. A true champion will need to show the courage to overcome difficulties.

For their part, Tottenham's last outing saw them draw 2-2 against Man United. Spurs thought they had all three points thanks to Richarlison's goal in the first minute of injury time to make it 2-1.

However, a moment of distraction before the referee blew the final whistle caused Thomas Frank and his team to miss out on victory by a hair's breadth.

Dropping 2 points, Tottenham missed the opportunity to rise to 3rd place on the rankings. Before round 12, the London team ranked 5th with 18 points, 8 points behind the top position held by Arsenal.

If they can triumph at the Emirates of their neighboring opponent, Mohammed Kudus and his teammates will make the championship race more exciting and thrilling.

Arsenal have won 5 and drawn only 1 of their last 6 North London derbies.

The above scenario is of course unlikely to happen. After 8 home games since the start of the season, Arsenal have never tasted defeat, winning 7 and only conceding 1 goal. The Gunners' formidable stability promises to pose a significant challenge to the visitors.

Recent head-to-head history is also completely in favor of the Emirates team. In the last 3 seasons, Arteta and his team have not lost in their encounters with Spurs, winning 5 victories.
