If there is a chance for Spurs to really pick off Arsenal FC, it’s now. The Gunners currently have a lot of walking wounded, and Tottenham Hotspur are pretty fit, overall, as a squad right now. While the North London Derby has been more going the way of Arsenal lately, Sunday is a great chance to turn the beat around.
Spurs will be at home, and White Hart Lane will be rocking for the Sunday matinee.
