What a difference a week makes, you\u2019re either announcing\nyourself as firmly in the Premier League title race or you are a team in crisis\nand as per usual it is never dull in the life of anyone connected to Tottenham<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After suffering back to back defeats to both Burnley and\nChelsea, the clouds are once again circling around this homeless convoy and\nwith Arsenal on the horizon, then there is every chance that the outlook could\nturn out to be even more grey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arsenal have once again got their tails up and will no doubt\nbe smelling blood, especially as a win on Saturday would see the gap eroded to\njust a single point and as a consequence blow the race for the top four wide\nopen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if there was ever a fixture for Tottenham to\nsilence the critics that have certainly been louder in voice over the past few\nweeks, then this will be the one. A win over Arsenal would go some way to\nredressing the balance in North London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only that, but on the flipside a win over the Gunners\nwould see the gap then extend to seven points. A margin that then allows for a\nmuch clearer disposition for Mauricio Pochettino and his players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Much has been made of the fact that Harry Kane has returned\nfrom injury, at the same time though it is clear for all to see that he is not\nfully fit and although that may still take some time, he certainly knows where\nthe goal is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And what better way to return to the scoresheet then by\nbagging an important strike against that lot up the road and should the\ntalisman go on to get the decisive strike, then those fitness concerns will\nhave quickly evaporated. A huge Saturday lunchtime lies ahead. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
