A Super Sunday double-header from the English Premier League begins at Elland Road. Leeds United aim to upset the pre-match betting odds and collect all three points when hosting Aston Villa from 14:00 GMT. Football fans then turn their attentions to the UK capital, where Arsenal and Tottenham clash in a hotly anticipated North London derby from 16:30.
The Gunners enjoy home advantage, sit on top of the Premier League table, and have a real chance of winning the title this season. Their fate won't be decided at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, but a home win and another three points would prove the Gunners have the stomach for a fight. Fans would love nothing more than to see their favourites down Spurs.
Will this match follow the form, or can Tottenham dent their opponent's title charge by taking three points back to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium? Football fans and bettors can make predictions and wager at the leading online sportsbooks. Need a little help? Flashscore's Frank Monkhouse uses the stats and trends to uncover three bets worth your consideration.

Gunners to shoot down Spurs
Our first bet in Sunday's derby showdown is for Arsenal to use home advantage and beat Tottenham, adding another three points to their tally. When following this prediction, the final score, winning margin, and goal scorers aren't important. As long as the locals end victorious, you'll secure the profits. Arsenal 1-0 Tottenham pays the same as a 5-0 victory.
Arsenal enter the weekend on top of the EPL, with their stats showing eight wins, two draws, and a defeat. They've scored 20 goals and conceded just five. They aren't the highest scorers in the division, that's Manchester City, but Arsenal do boast the best defence by a comfortable margin. That solid backline will be key to victory before a global audience.
Mikel Arteta watched his league leaders end an impressive winning run when drawing 2-2 at the Stadium of Light before the international break. They fought back from a goal behind at half-time to move into a 2-1 lead, only to lose a late equaliser. Everyone in the home dressing room understands the importance of remaining focused until the final whistle.
Tip: Arsenal win @ 2/5 (bet365)
Bet explanation: If Arsenal beat Tottenham, you beat the bookies.
Expect a free-scoring derby
For our second bet, we move into the specials, picking Sunday's headliner to live up to expectations and deliver three or more goals. Unlike our first prediction, we're not too bothered about which side wins. Here, you're betting only on the number of goals. If Arsenal vs Tottenham produces more than two goals from both teams combined, you will profit.
Digging deeper into the head-to-head stats available on the Flashscore app, we see over 2.5 would've boosted your balance in three of the previous four North London derbies. That run includes a 2-2 draw here in September 2023, followed by a 3-2 away win for Arsenal. Last season, Arsenal won 1-0 on the road before beating their neighbours 2-1 here in January.
Switching to recent form, Arsenal beat Slavia Prague 3-0 in the Champions League, before battling to that four-goal draw at Sunderland last time out. Tottenham have similar results after thrashing Copenhagen 4-0 in London on Champions League duty, before sharing a high-scoring draw with Manchester United two weeks ago. We expect plenty more goals.
Tip: Over 2.5 goals @ 8/11 (bet365)
Bet explanation: If Sunday's game ends with three or more goals scored by both teams combined, you'll secure a profit.
Play for bigger odds
Our third and final bet on Sunday sees followers take a chance on a market with bigger odds attached. Digging around in the specials, we're backing Arsenal to win and both teams to score. Here, you need the home team to celebrate all three points at the full-time whistle, but Tottenham must find the net at least once in defeat to ensure you receive a solid profit.
Both teams to score and Arsenal to win was a smart approach when the Gunners beat Spurs 2-1 here in January. Son Heung-Min broke the deadlock on 25 minutes, before Dominic Solanke knocked the ball into his own net to draw the teams level. There was one final twist in the tale that day when Leandro Trossard scored to earn his side a narrow win.
Arsenal's defence has been the driving force behind their success this term. They kept clean sheets when beating Slavia Prague and Burnley, but conceded two in their most recent outing. Tottenham have already lost three of 11 games in the EPL. That run includes a 2-1 reverse against Aston Villa last month. They'll be competitive, but Tottenham should lose.
Tip: Arsenal win and both score @ 9/4 (bet356)
Bet explanation: You want Arsenal to win, but Tottenham to score at least one goal.
