Led by Australian Coach Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham's early season has been mixed. First, they drew away at Leicester at the King Power Stadium 1-1. Then a 4-0 demolition of Everton at home at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was given right from the father's hand! Before the international break, they went to Newcastle to lose 1-2 at St. James' Park.
In the latter game, the hosts took the lead after the opening period after Harvey Barnes sneaked away from the Spurs defense from Lloyd Kelly's pass and scored 1-0 behind Guglielmo Vicario's back in the 37th minute.
In a big picture the results are rather fair, but of course the sample is still very small.
Spurs leveled in the opening quarter of the second period with an own goal by Magpies defender Dan Burns, until the hosts' Swedish striker Alexander Isak let Newcastle's lead from close range after pressing the ball into the net from Jacob Murphy's pass in the 78th minute. Expected goals (xG) were more or less even, always depending on who you ask!
Tottenham will only start the Europa League group games in less than two weeks when they welcome Qarabag from Azerbaijan to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. In three other home games in London, Alkmaar, AS Roma and Elfsborg will visit later. On the other hand, Spurs will face Ferencvaros, Galatasaray, Rangers, and Hoffenheim away so it will be a very busy autumn for the Spurs, is there enough width to handle it?
Spurs' Dutch defender Micky van de Ven and strikers Dominic Solanke and Richarlison are in the injury room, a rather big blow attacking-wise.
Spurs possibly (4-3-3): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma, Maddison; Kulusevski, Son, Odobert.
Arsenal, led by Mikel Arteta, opened their league season with victories over Wolves 2-0 at home at Emirates Stadium and as a guest of Aston Villa with corresponding 2-0 victories at Villa Park. They conceded their first goal behind the back of keeper David Raya in the top game against Brighton and in that match, Arsenal had to settle for a 1-1 home draw.
It is not a horribly bad result as Brighton are a classy team, and they still would had a deserved a win according to these stats:
And they played a big part of the match with one man down as Declan Rice took a red card!
Going into the break, Arsenal's buns were still in good position Kai Havertz took the Gunners 1-0 from Bukayo Saka's pass in the 37th minute. At the beginning of the second period, Declan Rice's second yellow card had come as the crowning glory, and the home team's credit player's run out in the left lane of the midfield cost that quick 1-1 equalizer, which Joao Pedro scored from the crossbar for Brighton at just under the hour mark. Both teams are still undefeated in the league after Brighton scalped their opponents in their opening two games.
Among the gunners, Riccardo Calafiori (calf), Kieran Tierney (muscle) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) as well as the Spanish midfielder Mikel Merino (shoulder), the Norwegian Martin Odegaard (ankle) and the British Declan Rice (suspended) as well as the brass striker Gabriel Jesus (groin) will miss the derby. The replacements for Odegaard and Rice will surely cause Arteta a headache with Jesus still on the sidelines. Havertz will have to move to Rice's place from the center of the attacking trio, and Jorginho will probably take the German vacator's place accordingly. Gabriel Martinelli could be Odegaard's replacement... but he can not fill the boots
Gunners (4-3-3) possible starting roster: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber; Martinelli, Partey, Havertz; Saka, Jorginho, Trossard.
Big absentees at Arsenal, and they conceded 22 shots at home v Brighton! I smell goals here, do Spurs smell blood?

在澳大利亚教练安吉·波斯特科格卢的带领下，热刺本赛季初的表现喜忧参半。首先，他们在王权球场1-1战平莱斯特城。然后，在托特纳姆热刺主场4-0大胜埃弗顿的比赛，就从他父亲的手中得到了!在国际比赛日之前，他们去了纽卡斯尔，在圣詹姆斯公园1-2输掉了比赛。
在后一场比赛中，主队在开场后取得领先，哈维·巴恩斯(Harvey Barnes)接住劳埃德·凯利(Lloyd Kelly)的传球，从马刺的防守中偷偷溜走，并在第37分钟在维卡里奥(Guglielmo Vicario)的背后以1-0得分。
总的来说，结果是相当公平的，但当然样本仍然很小。
热刺在第二节首节凭借喜鹊后卫丹·伯恩斯的乌龙球扳平比分，直到第78分钟，主队瑞典前锋亚历山大·伊萨克接雅各布·墨菲的传球，近距离将球打入球门，让纽卡斯尔取得领先。预期目标(xG)或多或少是均匀的，总是取决于你问的是谁!
托特纳姆热刺将在不到两周的时间内开始欧联杯小组赛，届时他们将欢迎来自阿塞拜疆的卡拉巴格来到托特纳姆热刺球场。在伦敦的另外三场主场比赛中，阿尔克马尔、罗马和埃尔夫斯堡将在稍后到来。另一方面，热刺将在客场面对费伦瓦罗斯、加拉塔萨雷、流浪者和霍芬海姆，所以这对热刺来说将是一个非常忙碌的秋天，他们有足够的宽度来处理这些问题吗?
热刺的荷兰籍后卫范德文、前锋索兰克和理查利森都在伤兵室，这对他们的进攻是一个不小的打击。
热刺可能(4-3-3):维卡里奥;Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Udogie;Sarr, Bissouma, Maddison;库鲁塞夫斯基，儿子，奥多伯特。
在米克尔·阿尔特塔的带领下，阿森纳以主场2-0战胜狼队开启了他们的联赛赛季，并做客阿斯顿维拉，在维拉公园以2-0战胜狼队。在对阵布莱顿的第一场比赛中，他们在守门员大卫·拉亚的背后丢了第一球，在那场比赛中，阿森纳不得不在主场1-1战平。
这并不是一个非常糟糕的结果，因为布莱顿是一支优秀的球队，根据这些数据，他们仍然应该赢得一场胜利:
他们在比赛中发挥了重要作用，一人受伤，德克兰·赖斯吃了红牌!
中场休息前，阿森纳的传球仍然处于有利位置，第37分钟，哈弗茨接萨卡的传球，1-0领先枪手。在第二节开始时，德克兰·赖斯的第二张黄牌已经成为全场的荣耀，主队的主力球员在中场左路的跑动导致布莱顿1-1迅速扳平比分，佩德罗在不到一个小时的时候从横梁上为布莱顿打进一球。在布莱顿在前两场比赛中横扫对手之后，这两支球队在联赛中仍然保持不败。
在枪手中，卡拉菲奥里(小腿受伤)，蒂尔尼(肌肉受伤)，富康武博(膝盖受伤)，西班牙中场米克尔·梅里诺(肩膀受伤)，挪威人马丁·奥德加德(脚踝受伤)，英国人德克兰·赖斯(停赛)，以及阿森纳前锋加布里埃尔·热苏斯(腹股沟受伤)都将缺席德比。奥德加和赖斯的替代者肯定会让阿尔特塔头疼，因为热苏斯还在场边。哈弗茨将不得不从进攻三人组的中心位置转移到赖斯的位置上，若日尼奥可能会接替德国人的位置。加布里埃尔·马蒂内利可能成为奥德加德的替代者。但他不能填补靴子
枪手(4-3-3)可能的首发阵容:拉亚;白，萨利巴，盖伯瑞尔，木材;Martinelli, party, Havertz;Saka, Jorginho, Trossard。
阿森纳的大缺阵，他们在主场对布莱顿的比赛中丢了22球!我闻到了进球的味道，热刺闻到了血腥味吗?
