Tim Sherwood has had a bad week and it could get worse if they lose to their North London rivals

Arsenal had realistic hopes of winning the League at the beginning of the season, something that, if they fail to beat Spurs on Sunday, you could begin to rule out. Were Chelsea to win and Arsenal to lose, they would be 10 points behind the leaders; a large gap with only nine games of the season left. Arsenal must quickly forget the disappointment of going out in the Champions League; instead they must continue the form they showed in the second half against Bayern Munich. Tottenham meanwhile hoped for a Top 4 finish at the beginning of the season. They currently trail Manchester City by four points and Arsenal by six. With City away at Hull, a match they will be expected to win, it is up to Tim Sherwood and his players to keep pace with those above them by beating their rivals..
