A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Analysis:

Match of the week as Arsenal welcomes Tottenham for the London derby clash and if last season's 4-4 draw has anything to go by, this match will be just as exciting.

Arsenal have been known to be pretty good scoring when it comes to their home games. Last weekend they could only draw with West Ham 2-2 despite going 2 goals up at one stage.

But with the youngsters doing well beating Liverpool 2-1 in the Carling Cup, now it is time for the senior side to show what they are capable of as well here.

Wenger is expected to recall the likes of Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie and Andrey Arshavin after they were rested in midweek. But we could see the likes of Samir Nasri, Nicklas Bendtner and Eduardo keeping their places after impressive performances in midweek as well.

However, Lukas Fabianski is set to be out for around three weeks with a thigh complaint and Theo Walcott (knee), Denilson (back) and Jack Wilshere (ankle) are also casualties for the side. Tomas Rosicky is also out with a knee injury, while Wenger must decide whether to bring back senior goalkeeper Manuel Almunia or continue with Vito Mannone in goal.

Tottenham comes into this match after losing 1-0 to Stoke at home. At the moment they aare level on points with Arsenal but have played a game extra than Arsenal. Redknapp believes his boys can finish for a place in the UEFA Champions League next season.

After beating Everton in midweek, Redknapp is set to make changes as well. Peter Crouch will partner Robbie Keane up front with Jermain Defoe completing a three-match suspension and Roman Pavlyuchenko once again returning to the bench.

Jonathan Woodgate hopes to return after a head injury in the defeat to Stoke but Croatian playmaker Luka Modric will not feature still as he is out with a fractured leg.

David Bentley could start after featuring in the 2-0 win over Everton. Aaron Lennon is rated doubtful due to an ankle problem.

Take Arsenal and give the 1 ball here.

Cheers and good luck,
