This is the North London derby at its rawest! The November 16, 2025, clash at Emirates Stadium is a Premier League showdown, with Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta (2nd, 74 points in 2024/25) leaning on Bukayo Saka’s 6 goals and 10 assists, while Tottenham’s Ange Postecoglou (5th, 70 points) banks on Son Heung-min’s 14 strikes. X is buzzing: ‘Arsenal’s title contenders!’ vs. ‘Spurs will shock!’ Last season’s 3-2 Arsenal win was tense, but Tottenham’s 2010 upset lingers. Search ‘Arsenal Tottenham 2025 preview’ for the buzz.
Tactical Breakdown: Arsenal’s 4-3-3, with Ødegaard’s 9 assists and 58% possession, controls games, but their 34 goals conceded show cracks.

X Reactions: ‘Saka’s unstoppable!’ vs. ‘Son’s the difference!’ Prediction: Arsenal 2-1, but derbies are mad. #PremierLeague #Arsenal #Tottenham #NorthLondonDerby #Football #Saka
