JAKARTA - The English Premier League 2022/2023 is back on after the international break with a big match at the London derby when Arsenal host their rival Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates, Saturday, October 1 night WIB. Arsenal will face this match after starting a very impressive start to the season. They still control the top of the standings after only receiving one loss from seven matches that have been undertaken. They got one defeat during a visit to Manchester United headquarters, Old Trafford. Since then, they immediately rose and managed to record victories against FC Zurich and Brentford. The Mikel Arteta squad has collected 18 points or one point ahead of Spurs in third place with the same number of matches. Both teams flanked Manchester City in second place. After the good start of the season, Arsenal will face another test with their city rivals tonight. This is an important match for the hosts because losing three points will make them shift from the top position. On the other hand, Spurs are also on a great journey so far. Antonio Conte's team have won five times, got two draws, and have not felt the same defeat as City, which is one place above them. Despite both starting the good start of the season, Spurs came to the Emirates with a bad record. Last season, they lost 1-3 on that spot before replying at Tottenham Stadium. It was their two defeats there on the last two visits there. The last time the Lilywhites recorded a win at the Emirates in 2018 through goals from Son Heung Min and Dele Alli. Estimated Formation: Arsenal (4-2-3-1): Ramsdale; White, Crusader, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Xhaka, Partey; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Jesus. Coach: Mikel Arteta. Tottenham Hotspur (3-4-3): Lloris; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Perisic, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Sessegnon; Richarlison, Kane, Son. Trainer: Antonio Conte
