The Gunners will be heading to the White Hart Lane following their disappointing result against Brighton at the Emirates before the international break. Tottenham’s primary objective is to halt Arsenal’s title charge, while Arsenal is looking to pile the pressure on Manchester City and Liverpool.
The match is expected to be a wild derby, with Arsenal’s recent form suggesting they’ll secure a huge three points. However, Tottenham’s desperation to compromise Arsenal’s title tilt and the hatred fueling the match makes it a tough call.
