Arsenal set the reference point
Arsenal hold the stronger overall record in this derby, and the cited scorelines show how effectively they can turn pressure into separation. A 4–1 victory at the Emirates Stadium on 23 November 2025 was followed by another 4–1 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 22 February 2026. Arsenal had also won 3–2 away on 28 April 2024 and 2–1 at home on 15 January 2025, giving their advantage weight in both settings.
Tottenham can still alter the rhythm
Tottenham’s 2–0 home win on 6 December 2020 is a reminder that the derby resists a purely one-sided reading. The rivalry’s intensity compresses the gap between expectation and execution: pressing, transitions and composure in the final third can all change the balance. Arsenal’s broader edge remains clear, but Tottenham’s home setting can amplify a response. A future North London derby will test whether Arsenal can impose its structure again or Tottenham can turn the emotional energy of the occasion into a decisive result.
