Saturday 17th November 12:45: Arsenal v Tottenham Hotspur – Verdict: Draw 11/5
Thierry Henry recently said he was proud to have never lost a game to Spurs wearing an Arsenal shirt, something fewer first team players may be saying in the future.
Arsenal fans do have something to be smiling about though and that’s the fact that Arsene Wenger has a pile of money earmarked for January spending. Although Eden Dzeko is more likely to be used as a bartering-tool as a part of the proposed Falcao bid than he is to join Arsenal in January, fans can be pleased that the club is linked with players like him and they look likely to sign an established player – but in the meantime they’re struggling somewhat.
Spurs beating Manchester United at Old Trafford, as a part of an impressive winning-streak, seems a somewhat distant memory and the team, or at the very least Villas-Boas, have been subjected to jeering from supporters in recent weeks – this, however, is a game that Tottenham will be well-prepared for.
This game, especially when you consider the recent results and form of both sides, has not been harder to call for several years, so we’re backing a score-draw.
Don’t part with any serious amounts of money when betting on this one - play with loose change or expect loose bowels.
