The heat is on Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal ahead of Sunday evening’s showdown at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Following Manchester City’s narrow 2-1 victory over Newcastle fueled by a Nico O’Reilly brace the gap at the top has shrunk to just two points.
A win today would push the Gunners five points clear, albeit having played one game more than City.
Tottenham, now led by Igor Tudor, are desperate to avoid a repeat of November’s 4-1 thrashing at the Emirates.
While Arsenal boasts a nearly full-strength squad featuring the likes of Martin Ødegaard and Kai Havertz, Spurs are battling a severe injury crisis.
With Mohammed Kudus, James Maddison, and Dejan Kulusevski among those sidelined, Tudor must find a way to stop an Arsenal side looking to bounce back from a recent 2-2 draw with Wolves.
