Can Arsenal win their first Premier League North London Derby for 3 and a half years when they host Tottenham at 12.30pm on Sky Sports?

Though only 4 points separate them domestically, that doesn’t quite accurately capture the gap that has grown between Arsenal and Spurs. The latter provide the spine of the England squad, are through to the Champions League knockouts after beating both Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid, and have the Premier League’s joint top scorer in Harry Kane (who sits at a Super Mega PGM of 45-52).



As for the Gunners, their most recent results are a dreary 0-0 draw against Red Star Belgrade in the Europa League and a 3-1 defeat to a rampant Manchester City, their 4th league loss in 11 games. And though they may have scored the same 20 goals as Tottenham domestically – with Alexandre Lacazette, at a Super Mega PGM of 39-46, nabbing around a third of that tally – they’ve conceded 16 to their rival’s 7.

Still, the Gunners haven’t lost a Premier League home game in their last 10 fixtures, just about giving them the edge at an Arsenal/Tottenham Goal Supremacy spread of 0.05-0.25 alongside a Total Goals spread of 2.9-3.1.

Later on Saturday, Manchester United try and regain their lost momentum against Newcastle, at 5.30pm on BT Sport 1. After a storming start to the season United had cooled quite significantly before the most recent international break. Their last 4 league games have seen them draw against Liverpool, lose to Huddersfield and Chelsea, and beat Tottenham, opening up an 8 point gap between them and Man City.



Still, Jose Mourinho has received a rather sizeable boost ahead of Saturday’s game, with Paul Pogba, Marcos Rojos and the long-absent Zlatan Ibrahimovic all returning to the squad. Mourinho will be hoping the recovery of the Big Swede might inspire Romelu Lukaku to rediscover his form; the Belgian hasn’t scored for United in 7 games (even if he did become his country’s top scorer last Friday).

The Toon, meanwhile, are knocking on the door of the top 10 despite some pretty ropey form. Rafa Benitez’s side have lost their last 2 league games, a pair of 1-0 defeats to Burnley and Bournemouth, and have no real presence going forwards. Realistically the hosts aren’t going to have too many issues, with Spreadex offering a Man United/Newcastle Goal Supremacy spread of 1.6-1.8 alongside a Total Goals spread of 2.65-2.85.

Finally, Sunday’s only fixture sees West Ham attempt a relegation zone escape against Watford, at 4pm on Sky Sports. It may have taken a tad longer than expected, but Slaven Bilic is gone, after picking up just 9 points from West Ham’s first 11 games. Luckily the Hammers have air-lifted in David Moyes, so fans have nothing to worry about going forwards!



While Watford might be 6 points, and 9 places, above their Sunday opponents, they’re also in need of a bit of a reset. They’ve lost their last 3 games – to Chelsea, Stoke and Everton – and actually have one of the worst defences in the league despite sitting in the top half of the table. Nevertheless, the Hammers are still in flux, leading to a Watford/West Ham Goal Supremacy spread of 0.3-0.5 alongside a Total Goals spread of 2.6-2.8.
