Tottenham Hotspur host arch rivals Arsenal on Thursday night in what is arguably the biggest North London derby in years. A win for Antonio Conte's side ...

Tanganga hasn't featured for the Lilywhites since their 2-0 defeat to Chelsea at the end of January due to a knee injury. Reguilon played the full 90 minutes during last month's 1-0 defeat at home to Brighton, but has been missing from Spurs' last three matchday squads after picking up a groin injury. Skipp hasn’t played for Spurs since January due to an ongoing problem related to his pubic symphysis.

Arsenal and Tottenham's battle for fourth spot looked as though it would go right down to the wire this season but the Gunners can confirm their place in ...

A defeat would completely end those hopes, while a draw will keep them alive for another week at least, although they have the more favourable of the final two games. “For Arsenal, it wasn’t a classic performance, but the win over Leeds was vital in extending their lead over Spurs. Nketiah was in amongst the goals again, he looks a natural finisher. Spurs secured a good point away at Liverpool in their 1-1 draw on Saturday, and Owen predicts the same scoreline here.

The North London rivalry kicks off at Tottenham this evening with bragging rights seen as more important than the Champions League ticket.

They deserve this type of satisfaction in a tough game, a derby against Arsenal.” Arsenal have the advantage in head-to-head meetings, with 79 wins to Tottenham’s 60. We are going to play and go for it like we always do. If Antonio Conte’s Spurs get a win on Thursday, then just one point will separate Tottenham and Arsenal with two matches left. But looking closer at the points-differential shows an exciting fact: these clubs pursue each other till the end. That is finishing ahead of each other on the league table.

Tottenham and Arsenal meet tonight in the biggest north London derby for years.

SC: It would not be the end of the world for Arsenal, but it would be a blow. At the start of the season no one would have predicted that the Gunners would finish top four. Arsenal’s win against Chelsea showed the value of matching the opposition’s formation and Arteta would be wise to do so now. Arsenal are four points ahead of Spurs in the race to finish fourth and will secure qualification to the Champions League for next season with a win this evening. Certainly, missing out would set back Spurs' rebuild - while accelerating Arsenal's - by limiting their budget and the calibre of player they could target in the summer. And what is the worst case scenario for Spurs if they lose?

Darren Bent has claimed that Tottenham fans wouldn't be happy if a swap deal involving Harry Kane and Chelsea's, Romelu Lukaku, took place.

“He (Lukaku) is not worth £100 million now. Probably £70 million. The former striker added that Chelsea would need to pay at least ‘£30 million on top’ of Lukaku in order to land the Tottenham hitman.

Tottenham and Arsenal meet in a north London derby that could decide the race for next season's Champions League.

If the top four race is still alive on the final day, Tottenham could hardly ask for a better fixture. And even if they win the 191st north London derby, they will need a favour from elsewhere. With his new manager’s bounce now seeming to wear off, it is hard to see anything other than a Tottenham win. Only Watford have a worse home record than Norwich’s 0.67 points-per-game at Carrow Road this season. Tottenham round off the campaign against one side battling against relegation and another who are already gone. Only the top three have better records on the road than Arteta’s side, but 1.65 points-per-game is hardly invincible either. Arsenal’s -1.2 xG difference away from home is even less impressive, albeit slightly skewed by heavy defeats away to City and Liverpool. If they only earn a draw and then fail to better Arsenal’s result the following weekend, their race will be run. If Everton are safe by then, many will expect a routine Arsenal win. Even so, Everton’s miserable away record will reassure Arsenal supporters if they still go into the final day without that Champions League place secured. If they are still scrapping for survival, all bets are off. Southampton, Wolves and Brighton have all come away from the new White Hart Lane victorious since Conte’s arrival, though, proving they are far from impenetrable.

Tottenham and Arsenal collide tonight in a mammoth north London derby clash.

Arsenal's trip to Tottenham will be one of the most anticipated North London derbies in years - and our football writers have given their view on how the ...

Playing this game under the lights in front of a full house is a huge advantage for Spurs and you can be sure they will put in a performance. Arsenal know it's in their hands and would probably take a draw, so that's the most likely result tonight for me. They will enjoy the fact that Arsenal will be prepared to come at them, with Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son looking to exploit the space on the counter-attack between the Arsenal centre-backs and their less-convincing full-backs. This is one of the biggest North London derbies of recent years and both sides will be desperate to win. Arsenal winning the title there in 1971 and 2004. I do think Tottenham are favourites for this one but even if Arsenal lose, they remain in the box seat for top four.

And that relationship doesn’t change, but that wasn’t the case [of me being close to joining Spurs]." Arteta's stock as a coach quickly grew after heading to City and was among a number of final candidates to succeed Arsene Wenger back at Arsenal in 2018, but Unai Emery got the nod instead. "I have an extraordinary relationship with him, but unfortunately for my experience as a player he was a coach of Spurs and I was here at the time.

Tottenham are missing long-term absentees Oliver Skipp, Japhet Tanganga, and Matt Doherty, while wing-back Sergio Reguilon is also missing.

North London derby TACTICAL PREVIEW: Arsenal's defence will have to be organised to keep Spurs' menacing front three quiet, Bukayo Saka can expose a weak left ...

Tottenham were dreadful in the reverse fixture, losing 3-1, so he has a chance to show just how far his team have come since that dismal day. His passing is also a factor that stands out, completing 97.5 per cent of his passes in the win over Leeds, which should keep the Gunners ticking and help them keep the ball. Arsenal will have to be switched on throughout the 90 minutes and will want to pay particular attention to Kane - who has been dropping deep and turning provider in recent months. Conte will be well aware that if there are any fixtures you must win as a Tottenham boss - Arsenal home and away are it. Arsenal should go with Mohamed Elneny and Granit Xhaka as their two holding players with Thomas Partey unavailable due to injury. Kulusevski has often been the supply man for both Kane and Son this season. But it's difficult to determine which way that will swing until kick off comes around. We've seen Kane cut a marginal figure at various points this season and quite often if Spurs have a bad day, he struggles to get going. Four points separate the pair and Arsenal can clinch Champions League football with victory over Spurs tonight. It's a do or die North London Derby with Champions League football on the line. Kane is Tottenham's most fouled player on 47. It all comes down to this.
