Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal 
Another superb North London Derby is upon us.
One year ago, a Danny Rose thunderbolt and Gareth Bale won us 3 precious points at the Lane. This season, we beat the Arsenal at the Emirates with a tremendous 3-2 come from behind victory. For Champions League footy next season, we must win key matches like today’s. We have beaten them twice over 12 months and perhaps it is the turning point for us against our long time rival.
After the epic 1-1 draw deep into injury time on Monday night, Arsenal will go all out to win as they need to close the gap at the top of the league. A full strength foursome comprising Fabregas, Nasri, Walcott and van Persie will want lead the charge up front. It remains to be seen how they feel after playing 8 minutes of injury time at the end of the 2nd half just on Monday night.
Spurs had the weekend off to rest after crashing out of the Champions League midweek last week. We also have our fearsome foursome in Bale, van der Vaart, Modric and Lennon to count on. It would be interesting to see whether ‘arry plays Huddlestone or Sandro in midfield. The team knows what is at stake and all I can ask is that we focus on THIS game only. No more distractions. Fourth is ours to claim back if we just FOCUS!!! The psychological advantage is on Spurs as we have all to play for and the weekend to rest.
We can do this! COYS!!!
