The North London derby is coming up this Sunday more exciting than ever, with Arsenal leading the way, in search of their first Premier since 2003-04, and Tottenham struggling to stay out of the Champions League zone, where they are 2 points adrift. If Mikel Arteta’s team wins, they will be 8 points behind 2nd place Manchester City led by Pep Guardiola, who lost their derby against United at Old Trafford this Saturday (2-1).
But Arsenal also have another challenge: end his Premier League losing streak at home to Tottenham, as they haven’t won the English championship at Spurs’ ground since 2014. “This is one of the biggest games of the season. I love this derby. You can feel how passionate it is, the tension, the atmosphere”, said Arteta, who explained that Gabriel Jesus, injured, is progressing favorably after knee surgery, but still not enough for his recovery.
For Antonio Conte, Tottenham coach, good news: Dejan Kulusevski, one of his main pieces, was recovered and ready to play a derby against the ‘gunners’. Speaking about his colleague Arteta, Conte said: “He is like me, we are both passionate.” A great bench duel this Sunday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where Spurs will test their neighbors from north London and leaders of the Premier.
In this same Premier, On October 1, 2022, Arsenal beat Tottenham 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium, with goals from Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka. Harry Kane scored from a penalty for Spurs, whose ranks sent Emerson off in the 62′.
