Antonio Conte is booked for his reaction to Ben Davies fouling Saka. He thought Saka fouled Davies just before that and charged down the touchline, then kicked the ball away. Lively. Steady on, Antonio!

Gabriel Martinelli is causing all kinds of problems off the left. He’s getting the better of Emerson Royal and almost gets in-behind after a lovely ball.

It is all very frantic here. Neither team can get control of the game and both look very nervous on the ball.

Look at this tifo, btw. Fair play, South Stand. Arsenal have settled well. Knocking it around but Spurs are starting to string a few passes together.

Tottenham vs Arsenal preview

Antonio Conte’s Spurs drew at Liverpool at the weekend and although they performed well and could have grabbed all three points, they now sit in fifth place and are four points behind fourth-placed Arsenal with three games to go. That is what makes this game so huge. If Spurs win then they have a chance of finishing in the top four ahead of their local rivals. If Arsenal win, they have sealed a top four spot. On the pitch, Harry Kane and Heung-min Son remain key to Spurs’ Champions League hopes and they have both been very good at home against Arsenal in recent years. In face, the entire time has as Tottenham have won five and drawn two of their last seven PL home games against the Gunners.

As for Mikel Arteta and Arsenal, the motivation for them is clear: win and we are in. Arsenal haven’t been in the UEFA Champions League since the 2016-17 season and finishing in the top four would be a huge achievement for Arteta’s young side. This is their cup final and a win would remove any pressure for the final two games of the season (against Newcastle and Everton), while it would also confirm they finish above Spurs in the table for the first time since the 2015-16 season. After they beat Leeds on Sunday they have now put together a run of four-straight wins has got them into this position (that came after three-straight defeats) and Arteta is now urging his team to finish the job. After finishing in the top four for 20-straight seasons, Arsenal have finished outside it in each of the last five campaigns. However, it appears that Arteta is building a strong, young core that can challenge for even more than a top four finish in the years to come.
