Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Pre-season friendlies 2025

The Gunners came out on top when they last faced Spurs.

Arsenal are ready to lock horns with Tottenham Hotspur for a pre-season club friendly fixture. The interesting game between these English Premier League clubs will take place at the Kai Tak Sports Park.

The Gunners are coming in after securing a win against Newcastle United in their previous pre-season game. The Mikel Arteta-led side did not do very well in the defensive part, as they conceded a couple of unwanted goals. Their attack also seemed well-coordinated.

But they have now added Viktor Gyokeres to their lineup, which is a big addition.

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to step up here. Their last few games against the Gunners have not been in their favour. Spurs are coming in after securing a goalless draw against Luton Town. The UEFA Europa League winners did not look in the best shape, and this might become a problem for them going forward.

Players to Watch

Martin Zubimendi (Arsenal)

Martin Zubimendi is a recent addition for the Gunners. He has come up with some good performances in the last couple of matches. He is likely to become the first choice in the midfield for Mikel Arteta.

Zubimendi controls the midfield well, and with the ball at his feet, he is going to cause issues for the opponent’s defence.

Mathys Tel (Tottenham)

The 20-year-old Englishman has shown great potential during the Under-21 Euros. Even though he did not score any goals for Tottenham Hotspur in their last fixture, Tel remains one of the main men for his side in the final third. It will be interesting to see how he performs against Arsenal.
