Tottenham Hotspur will welcome Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday, February 22, 2026, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England. The North London derby carries enormous weight at both ends of the table. Spurs are sitting just five points above the relegation zone. They’ve taken only four from a possible 24 league points in 2026.
Meanwhile, Arsenal’s title bid has wobbled following dropped points on the road. New Spurs boss Igor Tudor will step into a ferocious rivalry amid a crippling injury crisis.They’re possessing the division’s third-worst home record. Meanwhile, the Gunners are unbeaten in seven league derbies against Spurs. They’ve also won their last three at this venue. With title implications for the visitors and survival anxiety for the hosts, the stakes could hardly be higher.

Best Bet for Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal
Our best bet for Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal is Both Teams to Score: No at -118 (BetMGM) / -116 (FanDuel).
At first glance, backing ‘Both Teams To Score – No’ in a North London derby might appear counterintuitive, especially given the emotional volatility of this fixture. However, the both teams’ form context suggests a more controlled contest. Tottenham Hotspur have scored just six goals across their last six Premier League matches (L-L-D-D-L-L).
They’ve generated a modest attacking output and have often struggled to progress centrally without James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski. Spurs’ injury list is extensive. Maddison, Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Destiny Udogie are all unavailable. Meanwhile Cristian Romero is suspended. This strips creativity and transitional threat from Tudor’s setup.
Arsenal, conversely, possess one of the league’s strongest defensive records. They’ve conceded only sporadically in recent derbies, keeping Spurs under sustained pressure. Given Spurs’ blunt attack and Arsenal’s structured 4-3-3 pressing model under Mikel Arteta, there is a realistic pathway to a clean sheet for Arsenal – for a 1-0 or 2-0 away win.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal Prediction
Our pick: Arsenal to Win at -175 (BetMGM) / -185 (FanDuel)
Arsenal are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League meetings with Spurs. They’ve also won their previous three league games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. That recent 4-1 win in November proved Arsenal’s superiority in midfield control and wide isolation.
Arsenal have won just three of their nine away league matches this season, but context matters. Several of those draws came against compact defensive units where chance creation exceeded finishing output. Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz are pushing for returns and Bukayo Saka is fit despite a recent knock.
So, Arsenal’s attacking core remains intact. Spurs, by contrast, own just two home league wins this season and are winless in league games this year. Their xG differential over the past six matches has been negative. And their defensive absences, especially Romero’s suspension, compromise their structural stability. Arsenal’s ball progression through Saka and their high press should tilt heavily in their favour.

Same-Game Parlay (Bet Builder) for Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal
Bet $100 to Win $238.32 (FanDuel) Total Goals Over 2.5 (-130) + BTTS: No (-116) + Viktor Gyokeres to Score or Assist (-115)
The primary bet leans toward BTTS: No even though the derby’s emotional profile is volatile. Arsenal could win by a high margin of goals. Over 2.5 goals have landed in several recent meetings. Especially when Arsenal control tempo and Spurs chase. Including Viktor Gyokeres to score or assist reflects his centrality to Arsenal’s attacking sequences.
Operating as the focal striker, he excels in channel runs and penalty-box shot volume. His physical profile presents matchup problems for Spurs’ makeshift back line, especially with Romero absent. Spurs don’t have many options to go out on full attack, so the legs in the parlay make sense.
Tottenham are fighting relegation pressure at home but still, they don’t inspire much confidence in attack to challenge Arsenal. If they concede first, match state dynamics favour increased shot volume for the Gunners and stretched defensive lines. Arsenal’s defense has been impressive in both home and on the road, so BTTS: No looks plausible.
Gyokeres’ inclusion captures both finishing and creative involvement. Over 2.5 and BTTS: No pick correlates strongly considering Arsenal are determined to get all three points with constant pressure from Manchester City in second place. The payout reflects higher variance but substantial upside considering the match could tilt toward utter dominance from Arsenal rather than an open game even though it’s a London derby.
