With Liverpool losing the Merseyside Derby earlier this week, only Arsenal and Manchester City are left as serious candidates for the title. Arsenal is in the lead currently, but the defending champions are breathing by the Gunners’ necks. Plus, the Sky Blues have played one game fewer.
What this means is that in order to keep the EPL title dream alive, Arsenal needs to keep on winning. That’s why winning the London Derby on April 28 is a must for Mikel Arteta’s team. The problem is that Tottenham’s players are determined to mess up their plans.

Tottenham Still Dreaming Big
Tottenham got hammered by Newcastle 4-0 in the previous round of the 2023-24 Premier League. However, despite the humiliating loss, the Spurs are still flying relatively high. This team is 5th in the EPL standings with 60 points.
They’re 7 points ahead of Manchester United, which is in the 6th place right now. What this means is that they probably won’t drop down before the end of the season. A place in the Europa League is the least they can get from this campaign. However, their ambitions are higher than that – they want to qualify for the Champions League.
For that, they need to break into the Top 4 in the EPL, which doesn’t seem impossible. They’re 6 points behind the 4th-placed Aston Villa, but they’ve played two games fewer than the Villans. So, if they keep on winning, they have every right to hope for a UCL spot.
The trouble is that their schedule looks really ugly, with Sunday’s game against Arsenal looking like one of their toughest challenges in the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign.
Arsenal Going for the First EPL Title in 22 Years
The last time Arsenal won the Premier League was in 2002. Fast-forward to 2024 and the Gunners have a decent chance to pull it off again. They’re at the top of the table right now, but Manchester City has played fewer games than them, meaning that the defending champions basically have an advantage in the title race.
The good news is that there’s plenty of time left before the end of the season, so if the Gunners keep on playing well, they might get ahold of the title. And they definitely look capable of doing so.
The thing is that the Premier League is the only competition they’re playing right now after dropping out of the Champions League. The same isn’t the case with their No. 1 rival for the EPL title. Further, Arsenal has been in great shape in the Prem, with four wins in the last five rounds.
In their most recent Premier League game, they destroyed another London-based team. The team we’re talking about is Chelsea, which got demolished by Arsenal 5-0 last Tuesday.
Tottenham vs. Arsenal Prediction
Both teams will be super motivated to win the North London Derby on Sunday, so we can expect to see plenty of goals on both ends. Still, we think Arsenal will win, the main reason being that this team has better players than Tottenham.
