Arsenal vs Tottenham Betting Tips - BTTS

Arsenal return to Premier League action now winless in three matches after a pair of disappointing cup results in the past week. After falling to a 2:0 first-leg defeat in the semi-final of their League Cup tie against Newcastle, the Gunners were then bundled out of the FA Cup on Sunday against a ten-man Manchester United. 

Having been held to a draw at Brighton earlier this year, Mikel Arteta´s side have not won since a 3:1 win at Brentford on New Year's Day.

While usually reliable on their own patch, Arsenal have failed to win three of their last five games at the Emirates with their only successes coming in hard-fought one goal victories against Crystal Palace (3:2) and Ipswich (1:0).

A lack of clean sheets has been an issue in recent weeks. The Gunners leaked at least one goal in six of their last seven matches. As a result, five of those games saw BTTS. 

Tottenham come into Tuesday's derby contest with plenty of their own problems to speak of. An injury crisis has come at the worst time for the Lillywhites who failed to win four successive matches before an impressive 1:0 first leg victory against Liverpool in the League Cup last week. However, Ange Postecoglu´s injury-ravaged side needed extra-time to eventually see-off Tamworth in their FA Cup tie on Sunday. 

On the road, Spurs have proven especially inconsistent. Postecoglu´s side lost five of their last eight away EPL matches. However, they did score three big away wins against Manchester United (3:0), Manchester City (4:0) and Southampton (5:0). 

As with most derbies, form usually goes out of the window, and with both teams leaking goals in recent weeks, a high-scoring outcome seems likely.

BTTS has proven a frequent occurrence in previous meetings between these rivals at this venue, and I´m banking on a similar outcome on Wednesday.
