Premier League: Tottenham v Arsenal Preview


Who is ready for the North London Derby? I'm Not because I would rather watch Barcelona vs Real Madrid in the Copa Del Rey Final which is Spain's premier cup competition but due to sky not showing the match I will be hoping for a thrilling match between these 2 north London Teams.

Arsenal's title hopes are hinging on balance after their draw with Liverpool on Monday. Arsenal looked to have closed the gap on Man United, but a late penalty from the mighty ugly Dirk Kuyt in the 103rd minute(Yes 13 minutes of injury time) put Man United aka Scum United the firm favorites for the title. It would mean that Arsenal would have to go for a sixth consecutive season without a trophy.

Spurs have enjoyed a magical run in this season's European tournament that included defeats of Inter Milan, AC Milan, Werder Bremen and Dutch champions Twente before they were eventually eliminated in the quarter-finals by Real Madrid. However Their Premier league form has dipped in 20111 and i see it getting worse as the weeks come by. Liverpool are still struggling to get back in the top 4 after another poor season and it will be either City or Spurs taking the 4th champions league spot.

Both Arsenal and Spurs come into the match in poor form after they have managed just one victory apiece in their last five matches. However i feel Arsenal have more to play for tomorrow and will need a victory to have any chance of catching United. Spurs are still struggling with injuries to their defenders and will need a win to ensure they stay with City in the race for a champions league spot next season.

The 91st Minute Prediction
Arsenal 2-0

Here is what happened last time the 2 played each other
