Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal: match preview

Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal
Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal: probable starters in bold, contenders in light.

Mauricio Pochettino said he had not heard of “St Totteringham’s Day” – the annual bit of gloating from Arsenal fans about their team’s supremacy over Tottenham. But the Spurs manager is surely about to dismantle it. Win the derby and Spurs will finish above their neighbours for the first time in 22 years. Pochettino wants more. His sights are set on “finishing above all 19 clubs”. He clings to the belief his team could yet reel in Chelsea. David Hytner
