Bet builder predictions that are eligible for Paddy Power Super Sub will be marked with this emoji ‘🔄️’.
⚽ Heung-min Son to score anytime 🔄️
Tottenham Hotspur talisman Heung-min Son is a North London derby veteran and the 31-year-old attacker knows how to make his mark against Spurs’ biggest rivals. Son has notched seven times for Spurs against the Gunners and the South Korean managed to impact the scoresheet in the last derby fixture in September.
Son can always be relied upon to produce match-changing moments at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and the prolific attacker found the net five times in Spurs’ last nine home fixtures in the Premier League. Son has been scoring at a rate of one goal every 160.6 minutes in the top tier overall this term.
🛑 Yves Bissouma to commit 2+ fouls
Yves Bissouma forms a hard-hitting duo alongside Pape Sarr in Tottenham’s midfield, though the ex-Brighton man has been outdoing his team-mate this season for average fouls committed per 90 minutes for Spurs (1.50 to 1.20). Bissouma was one of eight Tottenham players to give a free kick away in September’s North London derby and the Mali international should be in the thick of the action again on Sunday.
Bissouma, who has committed 31 fouls in the Premier League overall this season, has committed two or more fouls in 11 separate outings in the division since August, and he fouled twice in home games against Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool earlier in the campaign, suggesting he ups the ante against bigger teams.
🎯 Leandro Trossard to have 2+ shots on target
Versatile Belgian forward Leandro Trossard has played an integral role in Arsenal’s push for the Premier League title this season and the 29-year-old has scored ten goals despite starting just 14 matches in the top tier. The former Brighton star was handed a starting role in each of Arsenal’s last three Premier League fixtures however, and could be given the nod over Gabriel Martinelli again on Sunday.
Trossard clocked at least one shot on target in five of his last seven Premier League appearances for the Gunners, and his 1.30 shots on target per 90 tally is one of the strongest figures at the club for that metric. Trossard has also been getting an impressive 37.7% of attempts on target this season.
42/1 Tottenham v Arsenal Punt

⚽ Kai Havertz to score anytime 🔄️
Kai Havertz took some time to get going at Arsenal, though the German international has become a hugely impactful player for the Gunners, and the 24-year-old has provided 11 goal contributions (7G, 4A) in his last ten Premier League appearances alone for the title hopefuls. Havertz scored a brace against his old club Chelsea on Tuesday and that double salvo would have provided a massive confidence boost.
Havertz hit the target with all four of his attempts against Chelsea in midweek, showing just how sharp he has been in the final third this year. The languid forward, who has been accurate with 41.1% of his shots in the Premier League this season, is cool-headed enough to convert any chance that falls his way in Sunday’s North London derby.
🟨 Cristian Romero to be shown a card
Hot-headed Argentinian defender Cristian Romero was one of four Tottenham players to pick up a yellow card when Spurs drew 2-2 with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium earlier in the campaign, and the 25-year-old has excellent credentials in the cards market again ahead of Sunday’s rematch.
Romero has collected six yellow cards in the Premier League in total this season, which is a modest enough haul for a player so prone to rash tackles. The centre-half has been struggling to control his hair-trigger temper of late and he was booked in two of his last three Premier League appearances and committed three fouls on each occasion (v West Ham and Newcastle).
🎯 Ben White to have 1+ shots on target 🔄️
Ben White has been tiptoeing into more advanced areas more often in recent weeks and the right back managed to muster two shots on target against Chelsea on Tuesday, finding the net with one of his strikes in the second half. Inspired by his fourth Premier League goal of the season, White could venture forward with more self-belief against Tottenham on Sunday.
The 26-year-old had a shot on target when Arsenal drew 2-2 with Tottenham in September, and White might have opportunities to vacate his defensive berth on Sunday. With Spurs missing first-choice left back Destiny Udogie and Timo Werner not the best at tracking back, there should be room for White to manoeuvre forward down Arsenal’s right flank.
