Arsenal v Tottenham tickets | Emirates Stadium
The North London derby is one of the heaviest derbies in the Premier League. The rivalry between these teams started around 1913, when Arsenal moved to Highbury, which was located near to Tottenham’s ground White Hart Lane. Arsenal fans even invented a special day, St. Totteringham’s Day, the day Arsenal fans celebrate the fact that Spurs can no longer catch them in the league. Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal have firmly re-established themselves as the dominant force in North London, a run that reached its peak with the 2025/26 Premier League title. Tottenham, by contrast, endured a deeply turbulent campaign and will be desperate to restore some pride in this fixture. That contrast only adds to the intensity of a derby that has lost none of its edge. Support your team live at Emirates Stadium with the best Arsenal v Tottenham Hotspur tickets.

Recent meetings: Arsenal's dominance
November 2025 - Eze's hat-trick lights up the Emirates
The most recent North London Derby at Emirates Stadium, on November 23, 2025, was an unforgettable afternoon for Arsenal as summer signing Eberechi Eze scored a stunning hat-trick in a 4-1 win. Leandro Trossard opened the scoring in the 36th minute, before Eze - who had rejected Tottenham's advances to join Arsenal that summer - took centre stage with goals in the 41st, 46th and 76th minutes. Richarlison's long-range strike was a mere consolation. It was the first hat-trick in a Premier League North London Derby, and the first treble in the fixture since Alan Sunderland in 1978, sending Arsenal six points clear at the top of the table.
February 2026 - Arsenal's away demolition
Arsenal completed a derby double in 2025/26 with another emphatic 4-1 victory, this time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on February 22, 2026. Viktor Gyökeres and Eberechi Eze both scored braces as the Gunners once again proved far too strong for their rivals, with Eze tormenting Tottenham for the second time in a season. The result underlined the gulf between the sides and kept Arsenal firmly on course for the title.
January 2025 - Third consecutive home victory
The North London Derby at Emirates Stadium on January 15, 2025 saw Arsenal secure a hard-fought 2-1 victory to win a third consecutive Premier League home match against Tottenham - something they had not achieved in the Premier League era. Son Heung-min opened the scoring for Tottenham, but Arsenal responded through a Dominic Solanke own goal, forced by a powerful Gabriel Magalhães header, and a Leandro Trossard strike before half-time to complete the turnaround.

Key players to watch
Arsenal's match-winners
Eberechi Eze has become an instant North London Derby hero. Signed from Crystal Palace in the summer of 2025 - after rejecting Tottenham - the England international announced himself with a stunning hat-trick against Spurs in November 2025, then added a brace in the reverse fixture. His dribbling, creativity and eye for goal from midfield make him one of Arsenal's most dangerous weapons in this fixture.
Gabriel Magalhães has become Arsenal's North London Derby specialist. The Brazilian defender has scored crucial goals in multiple recent derbies and earned man-of-the-match honours on several occasions. His dominance at set-pieces has made him a nightmare for Tottenham defenders, while his defensive solidity anchors Arsenal's backline.
Bukayo Saka has established himself as one of Arsenal's most important players, particularly in North London Derbies. The England international's pace, directness and end product consistently trouble Tottenham's defence, and his combination play with Martin Ødegaard and Eze gives Arsenal a relentless attacking threat down the right.
Martin Ødegaard orchestrates all of Arsenal's attacking play from his central position. The Norwegian captain's vision, passing range, and ability to find pockets of space between the lines make him Arsenal's creative heartbeat. His leadership qualities shine brightest in high-pressure matches like the North London Derby.
Declan Rice provides the defensive stability and drive that allows Arsenal's attackers to flourish. The England midfielder's ability to control the tempo, break up opposition attacks, and drive forward when opportunities arise makes him integral to Arsenal's system in big matches.
Tottenham's key men
Cristian Romero is among Tottenham's most important players, a combative, ball-playing centre-back and a World Cup winner with Argentina. His aggression and leadership at the back are vital to any Spurs hopes of containing Arsenal's attacking quality in this fixture.
Mohammed Kudus and Tottenham's attacking options carry the creative burden for Spurs. With the departures of derby greats in recent years, Tottenham's forward line leans on pace, movement and individual quality to trouble Arsenal, and the visitors will need their attackers at their sharpest to break a long winless run in this fixture.
Son Heung-min (now at LAFC) was for years Tottenham's most dangerous attacking threat in this fixture before his move to Major League Soccer in 2025. The South Korean forward, who captained Spurs to the 2025 Europa League, scored many crucial goals against Arsenal during a decade in North London.
Harry Kane (now at Bayern Munich) was the North London Derby's all-time leading scorer with 14 goals before his departure. The England captain's record against Arsenal demonstrated his big-game mentality and quality in front of goal, making him Arsenal's tormentor-in-chief for years.
Robert Pires remains Arsenal's highest goalscorer in North London Derbies during the Premier League era with nine goals, showcasing his importance during one of Arsenal's most successful periods.

Historical context
Origins of the rivalry (1913)
The North London Derby rivalry truly began in 1913 when Arsenal relocated from Woolwich in South London to Highbury in North London. This move was seen as a territorial encroachment by Tottenham fans, who viewed North London as their exclusive domain. The geographical proximity - with the stadiums now just 4 miles apart - intensified the rivalry immediately.
The controversy deepened in 1919 when Arsenal were controversially promoted to the First Division ahead of Tottenham following World War I. Despite finishing fifth in the Second Division, Arsenal were elected to the expanded First Division while Tottenham, who had finished bottom of the First Division, were relegated. This decision has never been forgiven by Tottenham supporters and remains a source of resentment over a century later.
Arsenal's illustrious history
Arsenal are one of English football's most decorated clubs with 14 league titles and a record 14 FA Cup victories. The Gunners' famous "Invincibles" season of 2003/04, when they went unbeaten throughout the entire Premier League campaign (26 wins, 12 draws), remains one of football's greatest achievements.
Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal rediscovered their competitive edge, finishing as runners-up in three consecutive seasons before finally getting over the line to win the Premier League in 2025/26 - their first league title since the Invincibles and a first in 22 years. The club's commitment to attractive, attacking football combined with defensive solidity has made them one of Europe's most respected teams, and reigning champions of England.
Arsenal's trophy haul far exceeds Tottenham's, a statistic Arsenal fans never tire of mentioning. The club's sustained success across different eras demonstrates their status as one of England's truly elite clubs.
Tottenham's proud heritage
Tottenham Hotspur, founded in 1882, have their own proud history with two league titles, eight FA Cups, and four League Cups among their honours. Spurs became the first English club to win a European trophy (Cup Winners' Cup in 1963) and the first English club to win two different European trophies (UEFA Cup in 1972 and 1984).
The club's glory years in the 1960s under Bill Nicholson, when they won the league and FA Cup double in 1961, remain a source of immense pride. More recently, Tottenham reached the UEFA Champions League final in 2019 and, in May 2025, ended a 17-year wait for silverware by winning the UEFA Europa League, beating Manchester United 1-0 in the final under Ange Postecoglou.
Tottenham's home, opened in 2019, is one of the most impressive stadiums in world football, with a capacity of 62,850 and state-of-the-art facilities. The venue reflects the club's ambition to challenge for major honours, even after a difficult 2025/26 campaign that saw them finish 17th and undergo significant change.
Don't miss the North London Derby between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur at Emirates Stadium. This fixture offers the opportunity to witness one of world football's greatest rivalries, where passion, history, and quality combine to create an unforgettable spectacle.
