Tottenham vs Arsenal LIVE
One of the biggest north London derbies in years takes centre stage in the Premier League. Igor Tudor can make himself an instant hero with Tottenham fans, while Arsenal need to respond after their title setback at Wolves in midweek.
Manchester City ramped up the pressure on Arsenal when they beat Newcastle yesterday to close to within two points of Mikel Arteta’s side, who are wobbling in their pursuit of their first title in more than 20 years. The Gunners have managed just two wins in the last seven Premier League games and are facing fresh accusations of being “bottlers” after they let a two-goal lead slip to draw 2-2 at Wolves on Wednesday.
Spurs are in danger of being dragged into a relegation battle but they will hope to be lifted by the appointment of Tudor on what feels like a huge afternoon in north London. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog, including expert insight and analysis from Matt Verri and Dom Smith at the ground.
