Tottenham – Arsenal, Picks and Tips
Spurs are coming off the back of a very good game at Anfield and a 1-1 draw against Liverpool. Earlier, Antonio Conte's side beat Leicester 3-1 and drew 0-0 away to Brentford. However, the two draws and the defeat vs Brighton four rounds ago (0-1) have moved Tottenham up to fifth, four points behind rivals Arsenal. In addition to the North London derby, the hosts on Thursday night will also meet Burnley (home) and Norwich (away).Matt Doherty, Sergio Reguilon, Japhet Tanganga and Oliver Skipp are injured in the hosts' camp and will not be available for the North London derby. There are no last-minute issues arising in the Spurs squad. Antonio Conte is expected to field the same first 11 he used at Anfield. So Romero, Dier and Davies will be Tottenham's three full-backs. Bentancur and Hojbjerg will play in the central area, while Emerson and Sessegnon will be on the flanks. The attack will have Harry Kane at its heart, assisted by Kulusevski and Heung-Min Son.
6 On the other side, the 'Gunners' have four consecutive wins in the Premier League: 4-2 vs Chelsea, 3-1 vs Manchester United, 2-1 vs West Ham and 2-1 vs Leeds. The weekend match against the 'Peacocks' was decided by a 'double' scored by Eddie Nketiah in the first 10 minutes of the match at the Emirates. The visitors were later shown a red card and couldn't manage more than a goal through defender Diego Llorente. With three games left until the end of the season, Arsenal are 4th in the English league table, four points above Spurs. Mikel Arteta's boys will meet Newcastle (away) and Everton (home) in the last two rounds of the season.
