After a prolonged break of Premier League action, a full weekend starts with a North London Derby tipped as an early six-pointer in the title race as Arsenal look to maintain their short lead over Tottenham Hotspur. Mikel Arteta's side have had a near-perfect start to the season while Antonio Conte's side continue to impress in a huge shift in mentality.
The Gunners are 11/10 favourites with Betfred ahead of the North London Derby while Spurs are 5/2 and a draw is 11/4. The last five derbies in the Premier League have all been won by the home team and in-form Arsenal can extend that trend but it will not be without a few challenges. Spurs pose a huge threat going forward and could exploit the gaps in Arsenal back four.
The visitors will be keen to maintain their impressive run in the league especially after a huge 6-2 win against struggling Leicester City - which was the perfect response to their disappointing night in the Champions League at Sporting Lisbon. For the hosts, getting revenge at Brentford was the icing on the cake and the perfect way to put their league form back on track after losing to Manchester United at Old Trafford at the start of September.
