Seeking to edge closer to their first Premier League title in twenty years, Arsenal will embark on a short journey across the capital to clash with their fierce rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, in the North London derby on Sunday afternoon at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Gunners enter this encounter fresh off a commanding victory over West Londoners Chelsea on Tuesday night, while the Lilywhites have had a two-week hiatus since their lackluster performance against Newcastle United earlier this month.
In a rare occurrence during this busy season, Manchester City’s participation in the latter stages of the FA Cup has granted Tottenham a two-week respite between Sunday’s North London derby and their previous fixture on April 13. During that match, Tottenham delivered a lackluster performance at St James’ Park, dealing a blow to their aspirations of securing a top-four finish.
