Arsenal
The team remains one of the leaders of English football. But were not No. 1 in previous seasons, when Manchester City gained a couple of points more. Now the townspeople are clearly not in the shape to retain the title. But at the same time, Liverpool shines, and the Gunners have to try to keep the 2nd place, which has already become usual. In general, they look good, but there are quite a lot of misfires. Having narrowly edged out a slowing Chelsea at the start of 2025, Arteta’s men were then limited to a draw with Brighton and were overtaken by sensational Nottingham Forest on points. In the League Cup with Newcastle there was a failure in the form of 0:2. On Sunday, Manchester United did not press the opponent in the cup for the most part, and lost to him on penalty kicks, being relegated here for good.

Tottenham Hotspur
Last season, the club was able, despite the departure of Harry Kane, to return to the real fight for a return to the Champions League. However, Aston Villa, who reached their peak, still won the race there. But there were hopes that in the next cycle Postecoglou and his wards, whose squad was replenished in the summer by Solanke, sparing no expense in acquiring a striker, would be able to add. But the spurs could not achieve stability in any way, and then they were undermined by waves of injuries, and in the middle of winter – even epidemics. As a result, the team competes with Manchester United for the title of main disappointment. Especially in the last rounds, which brought three defeats and a draw with survivalist Wolverhampton. In the League Cup, hosting Liverpool, they managed to win, although they lost Bentancourt due to injury. This week they played against modest Temworth, as part of the country’s cup. And as expected, they scored a comfortable 3:0.
Statistics of personal meetings
