Arsenal Tottenham Odds : No better time to back Redknapp and Adebayor in betting as Spurs look strong
Arsenal and Tottenham go head to head in the North London derby on Sunday afternoon and there is no doubt that the pressure is on, particular for the home side as 7/4 on Redknapp’s side looks too big with Paddy Power to pass up.
Arsene Wenger’s men go into this home clash with their local rivals on the back of a difficult week or so in other competitions. First, they were hammered by AC Milan in the Champions League, then they were knocked out of the FA Cup by Sunderland.
Their last Premier League game – which was actually a victory at Sunderland to move them into 4th – certainly seems like a while ago now and there is no doubt that Wenger needs a positive result this weekend.
More so than ever before there has been talk about the Frenchman moving on as Arsenal’s long wait for a trophy looks set to continue for another season.

Referring specifically to their Premier League form, the Gunners have responded to a three game losing streak reasonably well with a draw at Bolton as well as victories over Blackburn and Sunderland.
As mentioned, this most recent victory has seen them climb to 4th position and it has to be said that maintaining this Champions League place is now their priority for the rest of the campaign.
They will face a very good Tottenham side this weekend though and there is no doubt that some Arsenal fans will not be relishing the prospect of facing their rivals at such a difficult time for the club.
Harry Redknapp’s men are currently 10 points clear of Arsenal and this is a gap they would love to extend this weekend as they consolidate their position in the top three of the Premier League.
Spurs are in decent form too, going five games unbeaten across all competitions since the 3-2 defeat at Manchester City in January. They hammered Newcastle United 5-0 in their most recent league game too, so they travel to the Emirates in good spirits.
Looking at the team news for this fixture, Rafael van der Vaart and Emmanuel Adebayor face late fitness tests for Spurs, while Benoit Assou-Ekotto, Aaron Lennon and Jermain Defoe should all be involved.
For the Gunners, Aaron Ramsey is their biggest fitness doubt after picking up a knock against Sunderland last weekend, while defenders Per Mertesacker and Santos are certain to miss out.
Whoever plays, the atmosphere will be electric as this famous rivalry comes to a head from 1.30pm on Sunday afternoon.
