Tottenham vs Arsenal LIVE!

It’s the biggest north London derby in years as Tottenham host Arsenal in a potentially decisive clash in the race for Champions League football.

The Gunners make the short trip to face their rivals with a four-point cushion going into the final three games of the season, meaning they will still be in fourth whatever happens tonight.

But Mikel Arteta and his side know that victory would seal a top-four spot and book their return to Europe’s top table for the first time since the 2016/17 season.

For Tottenham, victory is really a necessity. Antonio Conte’s side were impressive at Anfield in their last match to earn a point, and will have a raucous home crowd behind them as they look to close the gap to the Gunners.

A win for Spurs tonight would mean they could be two points clear in fourth place by the time Arsenal travel to face Newcastle on Monday night, in what looks to be a tricky fixture.

One change but a big one

Spurs forced into a change from the side that drew at Anfield.

Romero misses out with injury, meaning Sanchez comes into the back three alongside Dier and Davies.

Apart from that, it’s as you’d expect from Conte.

Same side... different shape?

Arteta names the same side that beat Leeds 2-1 on Sunday - Saka is fit to start, with White on the bench.

That means Smith Rowe also has to settle for a place among the substitutes, with Pepe and Lacazette also waiting in reverse.

It was a back four against Leeds, with Tomiyasu filling in at left back. Could well be a back three here tonight though, with Cedric and Saka as wing-backs.

Conte calls for Anfield-esque atmosphere

Antonio Conte has called on the Tottenham fans to make it a raucous atmosphere tonight and get behind the home side.

He said: “It’s not only about being focused on beating your rival. Winning a derby has to be a way to reach an important target.

“There is a big rivalry. The players know very well, and we want to give satisfaction to our fans, and we’ll try to do our best.

“I hope to breathe a fantastic atmosphere, like the last game in Anfield.

“Our fans have to push us from the start until the end, in positive or negative moments, they have to stay with us and we have to try to overcome this obstacle together.”

Rivals must overcome stage fright

For months, Tottenham and Arsenal have suspected the postponed north London derby, which was called off at Arsenal’s behest in January, could decide which club finishes fourth — and there is every chance it will.

Spurs squandered the chance to go into tonight’s game with a cushion and, instead, it is Arsenal who can seal Champions League football with a famous win at the home of their rivals. It would not quite rank alongside their title wins at White Hart Lane in 1971 and 2004, but nonetheless be the club’s biggest result in years.

For Spurs, an emotionally-charged win under lights would close the gap to a point with two games to play and gift them the momentum and an opportunity to leapfrog Arsenal by beating Burnley on Sunday, with the Gunners not playing until Monday’s game at Newcastle.
