Arsenal vs Spurs Last Minute Preview

We're less than an hour from kick-off in the Saturday opening fixture, and the London derby could definitely wind up being the fixture of the weekend.

Jack Wilshere is not lining up for the Gunners and you wonder whether that has something to do with the midweek drama or not.

With Chelsea dropping points last weekend and not looking particularly solid, we've got a first-rate opportunity to capitalize if we can get all three points from todays encounter.

Harry Redknapp's side will definitely fancy themselves despite us being considered the odds-on favourites for the win here. THe bookmakers have priced us at 4/6 while Spurs are available at a 4/1 price tag. You can back the draw at 11/4 and you reckon that might take a bit of volume from the neutrals.

Spurs have been an inconsistent side for the bulk of this season, despite punching above their weight across most fronts. Their Champions League campaign looks to be a real success story but their ability to grind out matches against decent teams in the Premier League definitely leaves something to be desired.

A lower-margin victory for Arsenal looks to be the play from the bookmakers and you can back a 2-1 result to the Gunners at an 8/1 price.

Chamakh and van Persie are considered to be the favourites to score and you can lock in prices of 6/4 on both players. Cesc Fabregas will likely figure in any Arsenal victory and you can back the young Spaniard at a 9/4 price.

Arsenal vs Spurs is a likely selection for over 2.5 goals and you can grab that at an odds-on price of around 8/13 with most major bookmakers.
