Jermaine Jenas predicts who is going to win the North London Derby between Arsenal and Tottenham
Arsenal’s first game after the November international break is the North London Derby against Tottenham.
The Gunners will be the favorites after their brilliant start to the season. They are top of the Premier League table, eight points and four places above their fierce local rivals.
However, form disappears in a derby, and Tottenham fans are hoping to finally get one against Mikel Arteta.
Jermaine Jenas predicts Arsenal vs Tottenham North London derby result
Tottenham have improved a lot from last season, but they are still far from Arsenal’s level.
Spurs have conceded twice as many goals as the Gunners in the Premier League this season and will qualify for the North London Derby with just one win in their last four games in all competitions.
Arsenal also dropped points in their last match – a 2-2 draw against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
Arteta will want his side to get back to winning ways straight away, and Jermaine Jenas, who once wanted to join Arsenal but ended up signing for Tottenham, is confident three points will go to the red side from north London.
Speaking on the Wildcards podcast with Jermaine Jenas and Jermaine Pennant, he said: “Then you have the North London Derby, which I really hope Arsenal win, unfortunately.
“I just think, look, Spurs are better away at the moment, and I think they could cause Arsenal a few problems. But I just don’t think they’re playing well enough.”

Spurs have won just twice in 23 visits to the Emirates. The last victory dates back to 2018, in the Carabao Cup against Unai Emery’s team.
Arsenal fielded four defenders consisting of Nacho Monreal, Granit Xhaka, Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Ainsley Maitland-Niles that evening.
Tottenham’s only Premier League victory at the Emirates was in 2010, 15 years ago. Marouane Chamakh led the Arsenal line that day.
