What timing for Arsenal, having lost both their last must win games, they virtually have no chance at all of winning any title this season, and bang, here comes the North London Derby for them!! Another MUST win, not just for them to stand a better chance of making top4 come end of season, but also a matchup against their most profound rivals in the local league. I should not write much for fear of being biased, so I will delve right into the details.
Arsenal's hopes of winning the FA Cup were crushed last week by Sunderland who surprisingly lost four nil to West brom yesterday. The Champions league isn't looking good either for Arsene's boys as they have to at beat AC Milan by four goals without conceding a single one to even stand a chance of making it to the quarter finals, something which definitely begs of a miracle in itself because AC Milan are one of the most and best defensive sides this Champions League season.
Tottenham Hotspurs on the other hand have been flying, having beaten another amazingly on form team this season in New Castle United by a five goals margin just a fortnight ago, something that more or less cemented their acclaim to the third position on the league table in their best season in more than five decades. A tough opponent they are going to prove to be to Arsenal this tottenhum side, especially with the passion the approach all games under their manager Harry Red nap.
