There is a lot riding on Sunday’s North London Derby between Tottenham and Arsenal in N17, so it should be an exciting event. With six games left on the schedule, Ange Postecoglou‘s Spurs team is still in the running for the Champions League.
Prior to Wednesday’s 2-0 loss to Everton in the Merseyside derby, it did seem to be a three-horse fight for the crown, but the Reds have suffered a severe setback as their schedule is rapidly running out. Football fans won’t have to wait long for another derby match as Tottenham and Arsenal are scheduled to face off. They were treated to an extremely entertaining rivalry match over the week.
Although Son’s form may have dipped of late with very little falling his way in the West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United fixtures, the Spurs skipper could fare better this weekend due to Mikel Arteta‘s brand of football. Postecoglou may have a decision to make regarding Son’s exact position in his starting XI if Richarlison is fit enough to start after missing out recently through injury.
Given that many members of his team have previously talked about Postecoglou‘s inspirational remarks before games this season, his pre-match statement may also have a significant effect on his teammates. The potential for Postecoglou to give a powerful speech and Sunday’s North London Derby are topics of discussion between Spurs reporters Rob Guest and Alasdair Gold in the most recent episode of Gold & Guest Talk Tottenham.
