It’s the “North London Derby” between two clubs who viscerally hate each other. Arsenal and Tottenham, northern enemies of the English captain, meet on Sunday afternoon for a crucial match. Not only for the local rivalry, but also and above all for the final ranking in the Premier League.
Returning to the highest level, the Gunners are in the fight with Manchester City and Liverpool for the title of champions of England. With a point lead but a game more than the Citizens, Arsenal must absolutely win to put pressure on Pep Guardiola and his team, who will play in the wake of this match against Nottingham Forest. Especially since Liverpool let points slip away at West Ham on Saturday and perhaps their last hopes of winning the PL.
Tottenham, for their part, has not abandoned the idea of clinging to 4th place, synonymous with qualification for the Champions League. To do this, we will have to catch up with Aston Villa, 9 points ahead but with 3 games in hand. Feasible, provided you win against the Gunners.
Tottenham-Arsenal, a fiery derby to follow on Sunday April 28 from 3 p.m. on Canal+ Foot.
