The other difference is Spurs have a manager with a proven long term track record while Arsenal have gone for someone largly untried at the highest level.

Re: 2020/2021 season
Spurs also 3rd highest scorers, hardly what you could call ‘boring’.

According to this site, they had possession in their Premier League matches of 50.1% of the time.
And this one says 51.5%

Re: 2020/2021 season
. . . and the merry-go-round of managers continues 
or maybe it's football monopoly?
Win promotion to the top flight . . 'advance to Park Lane, collect £25million'
Draw with Man City . . 'go directly to Kings Cross Station and bugger off'
'
