Tottenham vs Arsenal: Gunners travel to fierce Spurs as PL title race heats up

ARSENAL make the short trip to North London rivals Tottenham for a huge Premier League clash TODAY.

The Gunners smashed Chelsea 5-0 at the Emirates last time out with former Blue Kai Havertz bagging a stunning double.

Ben White also scored twice on the night as Arsenal comfortably avoided a potential banana skin in their run-in.

Mikel Arteta will be hoping it won't be another trophy-less season for his superb side, but they must win the Premier League title for the first time since 2003/04 for that to be the case.

Tottenham go into Sunday's clash without any midweek hangover as they look to beat their North London rivals for the first time since May 12, 2022.

Spurs are battling it out with Aston Villa for a spot in the top-4, with the likes of Manchester United and Newcastle ready to pounce if any slip-ups are made.

The hosts will be without full-back Destiny Udogie after he was ruled out for the remainder of the season with a thigh injury that required surgery.

Ange Postecoglou will be sweating over the fitness of right-back Pedro Porro following his second half withdrawal against Newcastle last time out.

Richarlison has missed Spurs' last two Premier League games but could return for Sunday's North London derby.

For the Gunners, Gabriel Magalhaes went down with an ankle issue against Chelsea in midweek but was fit enough to finish the match and is expected to slot in a centre-back this weekend.

Jurrien Timber featured in his first game for eight months on Monday, starring in a 2-2 draw for the Under-21s away to Blackburn Rovers.

Sunday is likely to come too soon for the summer arrival, but the Dutchman could still play a part in the run-in.
