Mauricio Pochettino’s men may have struggled to beat Newport in their FA Cup match last time out but their eventual win and the Champions League returning next week gives them a reason to be optimistic about winning a trophy this season.

They impressively drew against Liverpool last week, a result that followed another commanding win over Manchester United in the previous match day.

Tottenham will be looking to get even closer to the top four with another win in this derby.

They have improved very well at home and welcome Arsenal.

Tottenham are unbeaten in their last 12 home games, and 8 of their last 10 games have ended in wins for them, with their victims including Liverpool and Manchester United.

Arsenal looked to have improved after they sold Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United last month; they have won 3 of their last 4 competitive matches.

However, these games have been home matches and their fans would feel they have a point to prove playing away from home at a tough stadium.

They have won only 3 of their 13 away games this season, drawing four and losing on 6 occasions.

Arsenal have lost their last two away days at Swansea and Bournemouth; Tottenham will be looking to revenge the loss they suffered in the reverse fixture last year.
