Arsenal can absolutely humiliate Tottenham with new record if they win the North London Derby

Arsenal have the chance to humiliate Tottenham if one thing happens in the North London derby.

Mikel Arteta and Ange Postecoglou are preparing their squads for the highly anticipated battle between Arsenal and Tottenham.

The Lilywhites will host the fixture at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, giving the Gunners added motivation to win following their previous two victories at the ground.

All eyes will be on N17 on match day four of the Premier League season, with both sides looking to redeem themselves after their respective results before the international break.

Arsenal can set statement North London derby record with a win over Spurs

It’s set to be a feisty affair between the two North London clubs who are preparing to battle for three points.

Tottenham have four points on the board this season, while Arsenal have seven, recording two wins and a draw from their opening three fixtures.

Dropping points against Brighton was not in Arteta’s script for the start of the new campaign, with motivation bolstered ahead of the derby as a result.

The dropped points against the Seagulls won’t be the Gunners’ only motivation going into the fixture, with the chance to really humiliate their rivals on the cards.

If Arsenal record a win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Arteta’s side will have more wins at the new stadium than Spurs have at the Emirates.

In all competitions, Spurs have only won twice at the Emirates, giving Arsenal the opportunity to overtake the record after just six meetings at the new ground.

Considering that the Emirates opened in 2006 and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium opened in 2019, it’s a pretty embarrassing prospect for the Lilywhites.

Arsenal’s record at Tottenham in the Premier League

Playing away to your rivals is always a daunting task for a club, with the hostile atmosphere to take into account.

Such seems to have affected Spurs a lot more than it has Arsenal over the years in the Premier League, with Tottenham only picking up two wins on the road since the league was founded in 1992.

Wins	7	2
Draws	12	12
Losses	13	18

Arsenal have a better record away at Spurs, recording seven wins in that time, a number Arteta will hope to add to by the close of play on match day four.

There’s a lot to say about the North London derby, with the quality of the two sides certainly growing over the past years although, a significant gap in silverware still remains.

It will be an interesting fixture in 2024/25, particularly as Arteta heads across North London with a wilted squad due to injury and suspension.
