Arteta on how they respond to bottling comments and players reaction
Sportmonks
Tottenham host rivals Arsenal in a north London derby where there is plenty on the line at both ends of the Premier League table.
Leaders Arsenal faced “bottlers” jibes after blowing a two-goal lead to draw at Wolves on Wednesday, with Manchester City closing the gap to Mikel Arteta’s side to just two points after beating Newcastle last night.
Tottenham would love to further dent Arsenal’s title hopes, but Spurs are desperate for three points to ease relegation concerns as new boss Igor Tudor takes charge for the first time since replacing Thomas Frank.
Tudor takes charge of a Tottenham side who are just four points clear of the bottom three after West Ham’s draw at home to Bournemouth yesterday. They are also without a win in eight Premier League games.

Hello and welcome
Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal meet in a crucial Premier League clash as the North London rivals collide.
Spurs begin life under Igor Tudor looking to deal another blow to the league leaders after Arsenal squandered a two-goal lead against Wolves in midweek.
Tudor has been brought in to replace the dismissed Thomas Frank on a deal until the end of the season, and will need to spark a turnaround in form with Tottenham far from out of the relegation fight.
Success on derby day would represent an excellent start and prompt more questions over Mikel Arteta’s visitors.
