The North London Derby is always a big match, but the latest edition comes with an especially big motivating factor as Tottenham Hotspur, and Arsenal are battling for the final Champions League berth on offer to English teams.
Ahead of today's match, Arsenal sits fourth with 66 points while Spurs are four points back. A win by the Gunners would guarantee them entry into next season's Champions League, while a Tottenham victory would spark life into their waning UCL dreams.
“It’s my first north London derby, and I know very well what this game means for this club [and] for our fans," Tottenham manager Antonio Conte said.
"We have to know very well what it also means for the table for us at this moment. We are fighting for a place in the Champions League. We are in this race with Arsenal."
Spurs have the home-field advantage against their rivals tonight, which has been very beneficial in recent years. However, Tottenham is undefeated (five wins, two draws) in their last seven home matches against Arsenal, their longest such run in nearly 60 years, and they'll need more of that favourable home magic tonight if they are to re-ignite the race for fourth place.
