Gameweek 12 continues apace with two tantalising match-ups, with the north London derby at the Emirates earning top billing. Arsenal are looking for a sixth successive league victory this afternoon, though visitors Spurs are no pushovers and haven’t tasted defeat since the season opener at Old Trafford.

The Gunners will fancy their chances of a victory on home turf, though, considering that they haven’t lost a derby with Spurs at the Emirates since 2010. Over the previous five Gameweeks, no side has registered more goals (16) or big chances (18) than Arsenal, which bodes well for their attacking prospects. Spurs, meanwhile, have conceded just five goals in their last six outings, ensuring that the hosts are in for a challenging afternoon.

Elsewhere at 4pm, Liverpool look to maintain their impressive momentum under Jurgen Klopp as Palace roll up to Anfield. The Merseysiders are looking for a fourth straight victory in all competitions and will be buoyed by the fact that Alan Pardew’s side have netted once in the last three Gameweeks.

Palace, though, have tightened up considerably in defence in recent outings and will be no pushovers. Between Gameweek 8-11, only Arsenal and City allowed their opponents fewer shots inside the box (20) than the Selhurst Park outfit.

Given that Liverpool have netted just six times in front of their fans, then, this one could be a tightly-contested affair before we head into the third international break of the 2015/16 campaign.

    Missed the City game. Didn't realise Bony went off, but then he always struck me as an odd (C) choice this week.

    Did Villa look solid? Is it Amavi time?

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      They defended well but City had a few good chances.

  4. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Chilean like chilli sauce

          Peruvian likes garlic

          1. Woy of the Wovers
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            So is Sanchez eating Chillies during the game?

    2. Hybrid.power

      1. 4vets

          1. Somalion
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

            He might have fingered the bird but that's not why he's getting banned.

          2. 4vets
            • 15 Years
            10 years, 5 months ago

      1. funnyoldgame
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        probably. But would they conveniently overlook it if it was Costa though? oooooh conspiracy 🙂

        1. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 5 months ago

          Actually for Costa probably yeah. But Suarez? 6 month ban

    3. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 13 Years

  10. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

  14. Dormer
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Who are Belgiums first team Centre Backs?

    I'm assuming it's Kompany and one of either Vertonghen and Alderweireld

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Vertonghen plays LB
      Alder plays. RB

      1. Dormer
        • 12 Years
