Arsenal consistency will be tested today because they will fight for derby game against Tottenham i know Arsenal is the favourite compared to Tottenham because they are the leading of Premier league with 26 points from  11 games but Arteta has bad news for the fans because for this game Arsenal will playing without some of key players and from the meeting record actually Arsenal has good record because they were unbeated in the last 14 games from Tottenham but with their recent condition Arsenal should be proven that they can be called as champion candidate and beat Tottenham

Liverpool shocked everyone by such a poor result against Forest at Anfield.    What's next for Arne Slot then? Will they still give him more weeks and if they do wondering how long will it be?

I can hear the fans already. They must be asking for his sack immediately. I wonder if Klopp is thinking of a return to his manager career. He wanted to take a long break but who knows. I guess then he would be Liverpool's first choice.

Until you see the team's crisis is over, there's no point in betting on them. Something similar happened to City last season, when they could have lost to anyone because the team was in crisis, and some riskier players bet against them, while others continued to back them. But my position in times like these is to leave them until the crisis is over, because it's very difficult to predict what to expect from them in the next game.

I'm not sure about him being on the line of losing his job, at least he just got in as of last season when all of Anfield supporters was chanting his name and also celebrating him when he won them the EPL title, why so soon? Is too early to sack him. He's a good manager but he sometimes seem to make mistakes which every other managers do, mistakes are meant to happen to learn from it. I believe they'll bounce back if they get their first win against any club in the EPL after a long run of losing games.

In the world of football, no coach is safe in their job, especially if a series of poor results continues to overshadow the club they are coaching. However, Liverpool is fortunate that after facing Nottingham Forest, their opponent was relatively easy. This midweek, Liverpool will play in the Champions League, hosting the Dutch team PSV at Anfield. If they lose again to PSV, no one can guarantee Arne Slot's position is safe. After facing PSV, Liverpool will face another weak team, West Ham United. The two matches against PSV and West Ham could determine whether Arne Slot will be fired or continue coaching Liverpool.

Truly, it was a very disappointing defeat at Anfield as they lost three goals to none against Nottingham forest who are ranked 16th on the table right now even after their win. This is really shameful for the current league title holders losing at home and not even scoring a single goal after all the chances created.

Based on statistics, Liverpool held more possession and had more chances created but none of those chances led to a goal. This shows how bad Arne Slot set piece is and how much work needs to be done in the Liverpool team as they take the 11th position on the league table after their humiliating loss.

And its only coming to light now, that maybe Arne Slot was only enjoying the already built team of Jurgen Klopp but is yet to build a solid team that fits into the pattern and system he plays. We might see more losses in the future and I would not be surprised if Arne Slot leaves the club before the end of the season if this form continues.

Arsenal's past record against Tottenham is very good. Although Arsenal lost in the last match against Tottenham. But it was a friendly match. The result of a friendly match cannot be taken seriously.

Arsenal is at the top of the table, and even if they lose this match, they will definitely retain the top spot in the table. Even so, the match is important for them. Teams like Chelsea and City are trying to capture the top spot in the table. So Arsenal will have to try to increase the points gap. Although Tottenham is not a weak team, their performance is inconsistent. Even Tottenham has won only one of the last 4 matches. The home team Arsenal is considered the favorite in the North London derby.

For me I usually get my facts straight about the strength and form of a team before carrying them before there is no way you will carry a team that has not been stable either winning or losing and then expect to get a result.  If a team is in crisis at the moment or is not stable then it's better to just avoid them at the moment and watch their growth.
I remember one time I bet for man city to just score a goal in there home and I ended up being disappointed because they couldn't score just one goal and the lost I their own home.
I lost that game because I didn't do my findings about there current state well and also there strength as compared to those they were up against

Yes they'll take it very seriously like a finals cause like Nahl said, there consistency would be tested today moreover as it stands, Arsenal can't afford to drop point if they want to maintain their position as the leading team on the table, however this is a derby match so it's going to be very tough despite Arsenal being the favourites. Also, Tottenham is not a weak team they even look a bit better with their current coach and can't be underrated, well let's see if Arsenal would pass today's test.

In the English Premier League, Arsenal is at the top of the points table with 26 points after playing 11 matches so far, while Tottenham is at the eighth position in the points table with 18 points after playing the same number of matches as Arsenal. And in a few hours, these two teams will take the field against each other. Considering the current performance and the winning streak, it would be natural to keep Arsenal ahead of Tottenham, but I don't know why I think Tottenham can stop Arsenal in terms of on-field performance. Today's match is very important for Tottenham, not only for Tottenham but also for the teams in the second third and other positions of the points table, Arsenal's defeat is important because if Arsenal loses in this match, Arsenal's points will remain the same, on the other hand, if the teams in the second third or other positions of the points table win, their position will improve.

Arsenal's consistency this season I don't think is in doubt and regardless of today's result in their game against Tottenham Hotspur, they'll still be the most consistent English team since the start of the season both in domestic competitions and in Europe. Though Arsenal are the favourites to win that game since they'll be playing at home and the fact that they've been a better team than Tottenham Hotspur since that start of the season, I think Tottenham also stands a chance of getting a result from the game. North London derby will always be a difficult game for both teams as they don't just play for the points but also for the bragging rights of fans of both clubs.

The list of doubtful and injured players has grown quite big over time and this could affect the general consistency of them team in the coming matches as they other may not have enough of the resting time. Regardless, I think Arsenal could win this game comfortably this evening.

Arsenal stand to be the only consistent club in the premier league after the surprising defeat of Man city and Liverpool yesterday.
Today derby match will be played at the Emirates stadium, Arsenal seems favorite but Tottenham can still win them which also will not be easy, Arsenal will play to win so they can further their gap point between them and chelsea who is sitting second place in the English premier league table, if Arsenal wins Tottenham this evening the point gap will be 6 points, just as you have earlier said Arsenal consistency will be tested today.

I am doubtful if Arsenal could win this game against Tottenham based on the numbers of injured players on this list. Gabriel Margalhaes is the reason why Arsenal defense is strong but now he is injured,it's absence will affect arsenal defense stability. Arsenal ability to win Tottenham Hotspur isn't certain, although Arsenal is the most consistent team on the table but victory against Tottenham wouldn't be Easy. Well,Let's just wait and watch which team wins this game.

Current line up against Tottenham Hotspur few minutes later, Riccardo Calafiori already in the starting line up list and that players not getting injury yet after returning from international break match. Difficult moment for Arsenal right now after many regular players have out for several matches later exactly with Martin Odegaard have absent for several months later. But several main players have injured for long term and out several domestic league and champion league matches for Arsenal, so far Arteta tactician performing well by leading the top place in domestic league and Arsenal still not loss in Champion league.
Arteta can manage well although several players injury because Arsenal have the same level qualities teams between main and substitutes players, few minutes later Arsenal facing Tottenham Hotspur will get three points?

Aston Villa suffered an early setback at Leeds' Elland Road Stadium it is absolutely true that, I was keen to see Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez perform in today's game, having made a superb save in a match before the international break. This game of the Premier League 2025-26 season was becoming very competitive, and the tide of the match was swinging in the direction of the hosts Leeds United in the early stages but promoted Leeds United's goal difference against ninth-placed Aston Villa did not last long.

PL giants Aston Villa are updating their position in the points table at a rapid pace because we saw Rogers score two goals very instinctively against Leeds United in today's game.

Arsenal just gotta do what they do best and that's extremely winning matches this season. God help Mikel Arteta to win this EPL this season because this is one time opportunity for the manager and definitely he's going to grab this chance. This is not the time for Mikel Arteta to lose control rather to focus and win games. Today, Arsenal hosts Spurs at Emirates Stadium, it's going to be one hell of a game. Only the surviving one will take all three solid points today.

Aston Villa won the game barely in the end against Leeds. Leeds played good the entire match but wasnt lucky with the goal being cancelled. Both teams dont score a lot and today we seen 3 goals in this match. Leeds played good this season and now i see they are in the relegation zone and i dont know how that is happening,because they are a really solid team. Aston Villa out of nowhere is now 4th. Really wierd stuff happening in the league.

The London derby is upon us now. There are only 10 minutes left for the match to start at Emirates!



Once again Arsenal have to play without a number 9. Gyökeres is still injured and he isn't even going to be on the bench. Merino will take the responsibility again but maybe he can be useful anyway.

He made 3 goal contributions in his last 2 matches in this position. Gabriel is out for a long time as you know. This can weaken their defense. I expect an Arsenal win with BTTS.  

[Marvelockg]

Arsenal consistency will be tested today because they will fight for derby game against Tottenham i know Arsenal is the favourite compared to Tottenham

This is a simple game for arsenal if you ask me because there's nothing really there that Tottenham Hotspur can do at this point. They are in a good shape at the moment considering the point they have managed to gather far ahead of Liverpool who are not even sure of making it back into the top four any moment from now. If arsenal wins, the margin between them and all the other teams further widens and it gives further pointer to the fact that the season belongs to them.

It's a derby game and certainly we want to see it being with it what a normally derby should look like. The margin of lead might not be too much and depending as things goes, Tottenham Hotspur can try to shock the majority of spectators expectations but that being said, arsenal should comfortably with this game at ease.

It's good that Arsenal doesn't depend on a striker for their goals, that's the good thing about them. The manager didn't build the team all around a striker, they do get their goals with or without a striker. Not that I'm undermining the effectiveness of Gyokeres but it is what it is. I hope he comes back before the Bayern Munich match, for now let him rest. For the BTTS part, I'm sure Arsenal will score, they have been doing it all season long just except for that Liverpool match. If Tottenham scores, then both teams to score is sure.

Was sceptical about this game at the getgo. Only bet I punched in was Richarlison to get carded at 4 odds. Fancy a lot of cards in the game.
