The Gunners will take on Spurs in Matchday 21 of the Premier League

Mikel Arteta’s men will lock horns against Spurs on Wednesday night at the Emirates Stadium. This London derby has always been very exciting and fans can expect both teams to go all out to get all three points. The Gunners are just behind Liverpool in the title race and are sitting at the second spot with 40 points on the board. They will have to make sure to not drop points in their upcoming games to keep them in the title race against the Reds. Despite playing at home, facing Spurs will not be an easy task for them.

Ange Postecoglu’s men have been quite surprising this season as they have lost against some weak teams and have defeated some top-quality teams. In their last fixture, they defeated the table toppers Liverpool by 1-0 in the EFL Cup semi-final leg 1. The fans have expressed their disappointment as they are 12th in the league with 24 points and are far away from getting any European spot. They will be looking to make this difficult for their rival and make things bad for them by forcing them to drop points at home. This will be an exciting fixture for sure.

Players to Watch

Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal)

Martinelli is very sharp and alert when putting pressure on the opposition’s defense. He anticipates very well and is very explosive which causes a lot of trouble for the defenders. The Brazilian can keep the ball very close to his feet when he runs at full pace, which allows him to twist and turn.

Even though he does face a lot of criticism due to his inconsistency but still for Arteta he is a key player for the team. Overall he is a hardworking player who does a lot of running on the pitch and has a good impact on the team. In 18 Premier League games, he has scored five goals and provided two assists.

Lucas Bergvall (Tottenham Hotspur)

The Swedish midfielder is very creative with his off-the-ball movements and likes to find the best space to receive the ball with good timings, linking up the team’s midfield and attack. He is a player with an outstanding vision and composure to provide the line-breaking passes in the final third.

Bergvall has extraordinary thinking when he is on the ball, he often chooses options that are unexpected for the opposition. Likes to have freedom on the pitch and likes to orchestrate the game by himself. His playing style is very similar to Ivan Rakitic. He has a passing accuracy of 90% per game and accurate long-range passing of 69% per game.
