3. Can Arsenal do the league double over Spurs?

Not since the 2013/14 Premier League season has Arsenal completed the double over their fiercest rivals. Since then, the two sides have shared the spoils, with both teams generally winning on their home deck.

On Sunday, Mikel Arteta’s side gets the chance to do a proper number on a Spurs side; one that’s not in the best form (although they did hammer Crystal Palace 4-0 in their last outing) and has several injury concerns heading into the clash.

It won’t be easy, but if Arsenal can secure three points, it would open up a 14-point gap between themselves and Tottenham, and they will do something not achieved in nearly a decade… doing the league double of their bitter rivals.
