Opta Stats: Arsenal v Tottenham Hotspur

Can Mauricio Pochettino and his Tottenham side emerge from their match with Arsenal with their pride intact?

Premier League games don't get much bigger than the North London derby and with both Arsenal and Spurs having made indifferent starts to the season, this is one neither side dare lose. Opta have all the stats.

Arsenal have won four of their last five Barclays Premier League games against Tottenham (two 1-0 wins and two 5-2 wins). They are 1.794/5 to win the match.

Tottenham have won just one of their last 21 Barclays Premier League games away at Arsenal. The Gunners are 2.8615/8 to win half-time/full-time.

Arsenal last failed to score at home to Spurs in the Premier League in November 1998. Since then the Gunners have scored 38 times in 15 games. Over 2.5 goals is 1.814/5. 

Tottenham have conceded six penalties in the Premier League in 2014, only Manchester United have conceded as many. The odds of a penalty being taken are likely to be around 3.55/2.

Arsenal took 25 points from their 10 London derbies in the Premier League last season (W8 D1 L1) and defeated Crystal Palace on the opening weekend this season. They are 2.75n/a to win to nil.

Six of Tottenham's seven league points this season have come in London derbies. Spurs are 5.24/1 to win.

If there are four goals in this game then it will become the outright highest scoring fixture in Premier League history (currently 126 goals). Over 3.5 goals is 2.962/1.

Seven points from five games is Tottenham's slowest start since gaining just two under Juande Ramos in 2008-09. You can lay them to finish in the top six at 1.845/6.

Emmanuel Adebayor has scored more goals than any other player in north London derby history (8 for Arsenal and 2 for Spurs). Adebayor is 3.55/2 to score.
