Arsenal vs Tottenham

Arsenal have done the Premier League double over Tottenham for a fifth time (twice under Mikel Arteta and three times under Arsène Wenger). Indeed, they’ve now achieved the double four more times than their rivals Spurs in the competition, who’ve only ever done so in the inaugural Premier League season in 1992-93.

Tottenham have lost 11 games in the Premier League this season; their joint-most at this stage of a single campaign in the competition (also 11 in 1997-98, 2003-04 and 2008-09). The only sides who’ve lost more this term are the three teams currently in the relegation zone (Wolves, Leicester, Southampton).

This was the 11th time the team scoring first in the North London derby in the Premier League have gone on to lose, with seven of those being by Tottenham. Only against Newcastle (7) have Spurs lost as many games in the competition after opening the scoring.

Arsenal have won six of their last eight Premier League games against Spurs (D1 L1) and are looking to win three consecutive league games against them for the first time since January 1989 (a run of five).

Tottenham have won just one of their last 31 Premier League away games against Arsenal (D12 L18) and are winless in 13 since a 3-2 victory in November 2010.

Following their 1-0 win in September, Arsenal are looking to complete the Premier League double over Tottenham for the fifth time. Only in 2013-14 have they done so without conceding in the competition.

Tottenham have conceded at least once in each of their last 25 Premier League away games against Arsenal, since a 0-0 draw in 1998-99. In their league history, only at Bolton have they had a longer run without an away clean sheet (35 between 1923 and 2012).

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 12 Premier League home games (W9 D3), and are the only side without a home loss so far this season (W6 D3). They’ve kept a clean sheet in each of their last four home league games, last recording five consecutive shutouts at the Emirates between December 2013 and February 2014.
