Arsenal’s Premier League title ambitions will face a tough test this week when the club travels to White Hart Lane for a must-win fixture against one of the top clubs in the league. The Gunners and Spurs London derby has been a fairly even affair over recent seasons, with Tottenham winning three of these encounters, three matches ending in draws, and Arsenal edging the contests with four wins.
Arsenal has achieved two away wins during this period, including a 4-1 win chalked up during its most recent visit to White Hart Lane. Tottenham has had a poor run of form over the last month, losing two, drawing two and winning just one of its last five matches – and exiting the Champions League in the process. With the season winding down, the Spurs will be keeping their eyes fixed on a spot in Europe in 2012. Tottenham’s usually potent strike attack has put away just 3 goals in the last five matches. Defence has been poor, with 7 goals conceded in the same period.
Arsenal has also been struggling to find form, and is watching its title hopes recede fast with three draws, a loss and a win to show for its last five matches. Arsenal has scored just 6 goals in five matches while defence has let in 6 goals during the same period. The club can take heart from its home record, having lost just one of its last seventeen matches.
