Tottenham vs Arsenal: Preview, predictions and lineups
- Tottenham host Arsenal in the north London derby on Sunday afternoon
- The Gunners are chasing a first Premier League title in two decades
- Lilywhites are still hunting Champions League qualification
A north London derby of colossal proportions takes place this Sunday when title-chasing Arsenal travel to top-four hopefuls Tottenham.
Both sides are desperate for all three points and bragging rights this weekend in a game that could have enormous ramifications, and the thrilling 2-2 draw between the sides earlier this season suggests the upcoming encounter could be a wild ride.
Arsenal realistically need victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium if they have any hope of lifting the Premier League trophy come the end of the season, with Manchester City just a point behind them with a game in hand. Triumphing over their local rivals would certainly pile the pressure on Pep Guardiola's side ahead of their clash with Nottingham Forest later on Sunday.
Tottenham have their own ambitions this season, although the possibility of denying Arsenal the title is an extra motivation. The Lilywhites are still chasing Champions League qualification, making Sunday's battle a pivotal one considering they still have to face Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea this term.

Tottenham vs Arsenal score prediction
This may be Arsenal's trickiest remaining match of the season, especially given the hatred between the sides, but the Gunners are in such good form that you can't bet against another win at Spurs. Tottenham haven't played in two weeks and may therefore be a tad rusty for Sunday's match.
While Tottenham certainly have the tools to cause the Gunners issues, Arsenal's attack should punish a Spurs backline that struggle to keep clean sheets. While it could go either way, the visitors look the more likely to claim the bragging rights.
Prediction: Tottenham 1-3 Arsenal
