One fixture lurking like a troll in Arsenal’s Premier League title run-in has probably consumed the thoughts of the club’s fans more than any other — Sunday’s short trip to arch-rival Tottenham Hotspur.
Like all big city derbies, pride and bragging rights are always huge motivating factors, but the fact this one arrives with Arsenal glimpsing a first title for 20 years adds considerably more spice to the occasion.
It looks the toughest of Arsenal’s final four games but it will head to Tottenham with confidence brimming after Tuesday’s 5-0 mauling of Chelsea lifted it three points clear of Liverpool whose own title ambitions suffered a huge blow in defeat by Everton and a draw to West Ham United on Saturday.
Manchester City cut Arsenal’s lead to one point with a game in hand after Thursday’s 4-0 thrashing of Brighton & Hove Albion and remains the favourite to claim an unprecedented fourth successive English crown.
But unlike last season when Arsenal collapsed down the home stretch under City’s relentless pressure, it seems capable of lasting the distance.
