What are the best odds and tips for Arsenal vs Tottenham?

• Match to finish 2-2 - 9/1
• Harry Kane to score first - 10/3

This is the game I look forward to above any other as a viewer but I bloody hate talking about it before hand.

It’s always difficult as there is so much emotion and bragging rights resting on the result but it’s especially hard at the moment with Spurs in such fine form.

The Real Madrid result was a few weeks ago now but a result like that can give you confidence throughout the entire season and it has given them the blueprint for how to play on the counter in this big games.

It’s a huge game for both clubs but Tottenham are used to the big occasion now and while Mauricio Pochettino is yet to have beaten Arsene Wenger at the Emirates his side will fancy their chances.

There are a lot of things going in Spurs favour ahead of the game; Christian Eriksen played a blinder for Denmark midweek, while Harry Kane and Dele Alli are well rested, having not featured for England.

As such they will be bang up for it against an Arsenal side where you have to say you don’t even know how they’ll line up.

Will Wenger play Alex Lacazette, Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez together? And if not why not?

It’s a massive game and a chance for the Gunners to gain some confidence and momentum. They really need to have a go at Spurs so for me there’s no excuse for not putting all his big guns out there.

I think it’ll be close and I wouldn’t be surprised to see another draw so the 9/1 on the game ending 2-2 is a tempting pick.

However, I do think Spurs will take the lead in this one and if they are getting two goals you’d be a fool to overlook Kane, who has netted six in five in this fixture, to score first at 10/3.

What is the team news?

Stopper Hugo Lloris though remains a major doubt after he missed the Palace win - with Paulo Gazzaniga ready to step up if necessary.

Olivier Giroud picked up a thigh injury against Wales but will probably only make the bench even if he recovers in time.

Aaron Ramsey sat out the Welsh game with Panama, whilst Mustafi and Danny Welbeck are back in contention.
