Welcome to your ATL Extra weekend email...

The Bank Holiday weekend sees plenty of important fixtures across the Premier League and Football League – none bigger than this one...

THE BIG GAME – Tottenham v Arsenal

Premier League, Sun 4.30pm – Sky Sports

Match odds:

Tottenham 10/11 (1.91)    Draw 3/1 (4.00)      Arsenal 3/1 (4.00)

They’re calling it one of the biggest North London derbies for years – Tottenham are going for the title, Arsenal are in a desperate last-ditch battle to salvage a Champions League qualification spot (again)...

Spurs have definitely got form on their side, winning 8 league games in a row – and are slight odds-on favourites for the Home Win.

Arsenal have picked up their form a little lately though, with 3 wins in 4.

And the history between these two rivals counts for a lot – Tottenham have won just 2 of the last 10 North London derbies in all comps, and the last 3 have all been draws.

The Match Result betting doesn’t interest me. But looking at the alternative markets, the stats on our Across the Leagues members-only website tell us that...

  • Arsenal are the top-rated Premier League team for Over 2.5 Goals bets, paying out in 81% of away games. With Both Teams to Score paying out in 75% of away games
  • Tottenham are the No.2 ranked team in the division for Most Corners bets, landing that in 76% of home games

And considering there’s been at least one Yellow Card in each of the last 20 meetings between these sides, Coral’s Enhanced Odds offer of 20/1 for a Yellow Card to be shown is probably the best option you could take in this game...

TOP 10 TABLES – 9 out of 10 for Chelsea...
