The city of London will be cut in half on Saturday, when Arsenal will play host to Tottenham in the first Premier League match after the international break. Tottenham recorded back-to-back wins before the international break, one of which was a massive win against Real Madrid that saw them through to the next round of the Champions League. Arsenal entered the international break having suffered a really tough loss in the hands of Manchester City.
Tottenham (7-2-2) were engaged in a really competitive match against the unlikeliest of opponents, Crystal Palace, right before the international break. Despite the competitive nature of the match, Tottenham managed to score the only goal of the match at the 64th minute, and grabbed a solid win. Prior to that they had recorded a massive 3-1 win at home against Real Madrid in the Champions League, a win that saw them through to the knock-out round of the competition. However, Tottenham suffered quite an unexpected elimination from the EFL Cup a couple of weeks ago, when they saw West Ham come from two goals behind to eventually defeat them by 2-3 at home. They are still sitting at the 3rd spot of the Premier League with 23 points, just as many as Manchester United. Both teams are just a single point ahead of Chelsea, and already 8 points behind Manchester City. Tottenham have been really strong on the road so far in the Premier League (4-1-0), where they have scored 12 goals against 3 conceded. Their only loss was a slim 1-0 on the road against Manchester United in their most recent match.

Arsenal (6-4-1) suffered a really tough loss against Manchester City before the international break, as they fell by 3-1 on the road. It was a pretty balanced match overall, but Manchester City were much more lucky with their shots. That loss put an end to Arsenal’s 5 match undefeated streak prior to that (3-2-0), but more importantly, it dropped them from the top 5. They are now sitting at the 6th spot of the Premier League with 19 points, just as many as Liverpool, and Burnley, the surprise package this season. Arsenal have been dominant at home so far in the league (5-0-0), where they have scored 13 goals against 4 conceded. However, 3 of those 4 goals were conceded in the 4-3 win against Leicester City in the premiere. Moreover, Arsenal have done a pretty solid job in the Europa League so far (3-0-1), as they have already qualified to the next round of the competition
