Tottenham Hotspur's difficulties with defending set pieces have been a recurring theme under Ange Postecoglou, culminating in a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal in the latest North London derby. Gabriel's header from a corner secured Arsenal's victory, marking their third consecutive win against Spurs. Despite facing numerous injuries, Arsenal managed to maintain a robust defense and capitalized on Tottenham's defensive vulnerabilities. Tottenham's high defensive line and inability to defend set pieces have been highlighted as significant issues. Postecoglou's previous decision to rotate the squad in the Carabao Cup last season also did not yield long-term benefits. Meanwhile, Arsenal is hopeful that Bukayo Saka will recover from cramps in time for their upcoming matches against Atalanta and Manchester City.
