The race to finish in this season's Premier League top four is beginning to heat up as Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur continue to battle it out for Champions League qualification.
The Gunners currently sit fourth in the table, however, Spurs are just five points behind their local rivals, with two games in hand.
To make matters even more interesting, Mikel Arteta 's side will travel to N17 to face the Lillywhites in just over two weeks time, in what looks to be a mouth-watering north London derby, with the stakes higher than they have been in recent years.
Still, when analysing the two team's fixtures during the second half of the season, it became apparent that Arsenal have one major advantage over their rivals when it comes to battling it out against the rest of the so-called 'big six'.
Arteta's men have already travelled to Anfield, the Etihad Stadium and Old Trafford, meaning the aforementioned derby and their trip to Stamford Bridge are the only two times they will face fellow top-six matches away from home in the league this term.
Meanwhile, Antonio Conte 's fixture list looks to be much harder on paper, with his side still yet to travel to Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United.
The Lillywhites picked up just one point from the corresponding fixtures over the course of the 2020/21 campaign. Grim reading for Spurs fans, who will be desperate to get back into the Champions League next season.
However, the arrival of Conte in north London will no doubt make Tottenham a much harder side to face in big games, as evidenced by their 2-2 draw against Liverpool earlier this month.
