Arsenal FC vs Tottenham Hotspur
Trivia - The distance between White Hart Lane and the Emirates Stadium is around 6 km.
Though both of us are not as close as the space between Anfield and Goodison Park, this 6-km distance marked the area of the famous North London rivalry in English footballing history. And this Saturday, we would be travelling this distance to our rivals' den.
Spurs had emerged victorious against Everton and continuing their march along their Carling Cup campaign. The Gunners, too, had dispatched our defeated opponents' neighbours Liverpool in the same campaign. With the 2 teams in winning form after a lacklustre previous weekend, this showdown would be a cracker.
Spurs would be playing without fastman Lennon, and news has been filtering in that a few of our regulars like Woodgate, Crouch and King may be doubtful. Defoe is still serving his suspension.
Arsenal has been enjoying goal fests on most of their opponents. For this game, IMO it will be a goalfest. At whose favour, well, since it's a derby, it's hard to tell.
No matter what, COYS!!!!!
