Arsenal have never beaten Spurs without Cesc Fabregas
Well, not since he started playing for the Gunners in 2004
chickendinner have discovered a shocking stat about Arsenal’s performance in the North London derby when Cesc Fabregas isn’t in the starting line-up, as will be the case when they travel to White Hart Lane on Sunday.
Of the eight games against Tottenham that he has started, Arsenal have won five and drawn three. That leaves them undefeated in those games and with a points per game average of 2.25.
The Spanish midfielder has only ever started on the bench or missed completely five games against Spurs, of which they have drawn four and lost one. Since Fabrega’s league debut in 2004, Arsenal have never beaten Spurs when he hasn’t started and their points average in those games is 0.8.

That’s great…
FYI - Tottenham has also never beaten Arsenal in a Premiership game within this millenium.

Fabregas is one of the best players out there! His performance at the Liverpool match a few days ago really highlighted his passion for Arsenal. I heard he yelled at the team, “You are not fit enough to be wearing those Arsenal shirts”. I suppose he really got mad at the team but the outcome was that Arsenal won!
