EPL 2016/17: 5 reasons why Tottenham Hotspur will defeat Arsenal in the North London derby

#4. The impeccable record at the Lane this season

Spurs have been invincible at the Lane this season

The White Hart Lane is a fortress that has been breached for goals on a scattered basis by opponents, but not one of them has managed to take away all three points this season. This record makes Spurs the only team in the league to remain unbeaten this season on home turf, a massive achievement in itself.

That of course, is not all. Sunday’s derby hosts have won 15 of their home games so far and drawn just 2, with Liverpool and Leicester City the beneficiaries who managed to take something away; it is interesting to note that both these ties came fairly early in the season.

Currently, Spurs are on a 12-game winning streak at home and most visitors have failed to score at the Lane; it is at this venue that Arsenal face the daunting prospect of salvaging their pride and the season!

Arsene Wenger and his players have their task cut out in the quest to stop the Lilywhite juggernaut but can they spoil the party? Let’s wait and watch, shall we!
