Paul Merson has recently made a prediction regarding the outcome of the North London Derby between Arsenal and Tottenham.
Arsenal will welcome Tottenham Hotspur for the inaugural North London Derby of 2025. Both organisations are in urgent need of favourable outcomes.
Arsenal has recently suffered consecutive defeats, whereas Tottenham Hotspur, despite experiencing a more favourable week in cup competitions, remains significantly below their expected position in the Premier League standings.
Mikel Arteta’s team is presently positioned in second place, whereas Ange Postecoglou’s squad occupies a position 10 places lower and is trailing by 16 points behind their formidable North London adversaries.
Nevertheless, league standings, current form, and all other factors become irrelevant in the context of the derby, which is what renders it an exceptionally thrilling encounter. Paul Merson forecasts the outcome of the match between Arsenal and Tottenham.
Tottenham is currently experiencing a surge in confidence following two significant recent victories.Spurs triumphed over Liverpool, widely regarded as one of the premier teams globally, in the Carabao Cup, subsequently securing a challenging victory against Tamworth to advance to the next stage of the tournament.
During the same week, Arsenal exhibited a commanding performance against Newcastle and Manchester United in two cup competitions; however, they ultimately suffered defeat in both matches.
Their confidence would undoubtedly have been adversely affected, which should instill considerable optimism in Tottenham regarding their prospects of achieving a favourable outcome at the Emirates.

Their confidence would undoubtedly have been adversely affected, which should instill considerable optimism in Tottenham regarding their prospects of achieving a favourable outcome at the Emirates.
Notwithstanding the outcomes of the previous two matches, Paul Merson is of the opinion that Arsenal will prevail once more when they face Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday evening. He articulated on Sportskeeda:
“I anticipate that they will prevail against Tottenham; however, they are in urgent need of a new centre-forward.” The Spurs exhibit considerable inconsistency, and I find it difficult to envision a scenario in which they could secure a victory in this context.
Acquiring a trophy would secure Ange Postecoglou’s position. Should they conclude the Premier League season in eighth place while securing victory in the Carabao Cup, for which they currently hold a 1-0 advantage heading into the second leg of the semi-final at Anfield, I would still consider that a commendable outcome.
“Several elite teams may conclude the season within the top four positions without securing any trophies. Notably, this includes Tottenham Hotspur, a club that has yet to achieve any significant honours.” Tottenham’s performance at the Emirates Stadium has been markedly poor.
In the summer of 2006, Arsenal Football Club departed from Highbury and relocated to the Emirates Stadium. Since that time, the Gunners have welcomed Tottenham Hotspur on 22 occasions across all competitions. Numerous encounters have left a lasting impression over the years.
Nevertheless, Tottenham Hotspur has encountered a considerable lack of fortune. Since Arsenal’s relocation to the Emirates Stadium nearly 19 years ago, Tottenham Hotspur has secured victory in only two matches at this venue. Conversely, the Gunners have secured a total of 13 victories. Games, Victories, Draws Losses Goals achieved Goals conceded Victory percentage
Tottenham’s record vs Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium 22 2 7 13 28 52 9.09 percent (Accurate as of January 14, 2025) Notwithstanding their recent challenges, Arsenal will enter the North London Derby on Wednesday evening as the favoured team, and Arteta will anticipate nothing less than a victory from his players.
The Spurs are certain to present several challenges for the Gunners; however, Postecoglou’s tactical framework will also afford Arsenal considerable opportunities to mount their own attacks. That should bring the best out of the likes of Martin Odegaard, who thrives when he’s afforded space and time in the final third.
