5 reasons why Tottenham Hotspur will win the North London Derby
By Tushar Bahl
5. Tottenham are the most in-form team in the league
Tottenham Hotspur are a team in great form. They are playing their best football at the moment and have won their last 8 league games. Spurs have dropped just four points at home all season and have conceded just 8 goals, scoring 43 in the process.

Led by Harry Kane and Dele Alli, their attackers have been scoring goals at will. The England duo have combined for 36 out of Spurs’ 69 goals this season. Their defence has also been rock solid this season. They have conceded the least number of goals (22) and have also kept the most clean sheets this season (14).
Arsenal on the other hand have conceded 40 goals this season, and their lackluster defence has been part of the reason for their decline. Their ability to perform in big games has also deserted the Gunners. They have only won once against a top 7 team this season, against Chelsea in September.
The Gunners have gone five league games without a win against their arch rivals. And Tottenham should be able to make it six on Sunday.
