Tottenham vs Arsenal preview: Prediction, kickoff time, tickets, team news, h2h results - Mind Series friendly

Tottenham and Arsenal face off in a north London derby ‘friendly’ today ahead of the new Premier League season.

The north London rivals, along with Chelsea, have been involved in a round-robin Mind charity series in pre-season, with the three capital clubs looking to raise some money for a good cause and also shake out the cobwebs before another gruelling campaign.

Nuno Espirito Santo will lock horns with Mikel Arteta in his first NLD as Spurs boss, but is fighting fires off the pitch with Harry Kane determined to leave the club and join Manchester City.

As for Arsenal, Arteta is busy trying to add to his squad following a disappointing 2020/21 campaign, and will want a win at Spurs to boost morale for the challenges ahead.
