Spurs have only one Premier League win away at Arsenal since 1993
Arsenal host Tottenham tonight in what is a huge north London derby for both sides. The Gunners are is desperate need of a positive result to lift the mood having lost to Newcastle and Manchester United in the last week, while Spurs sit 13th in the Premier League table and a long way off the European spots.
The pressure is building on Mikel Arteta, with Arsenal’s trophy hopes taking a big hit in recent days. Goals remain a problem and a long-term injury to Gabriel Jesus has left the Gunners even shorter in attack, meaning Raheem Sterling is handed a rare start. With Liverpool drawing to Nottingham Forest last night, a win here would move Arsenal within four points of the league leaders.
Spurs needed extra-time to get past non-league Tamworth in the FA Cup on Sunday, but there were far more positive signs a few days earlier when they beat Liverpool in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final. Ange Postecoglou’s side are on a four match winless run in the league, though, and are closer to the relegation zone than the top-six.
