Igor Tudor's first game in charge of Tottenham could not get much bigger as they host Arsenal in the 199th North London derby in the Premier League at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Both teams have different ambitions for the rest of the season, and so a win here would be huge for either side.
Indeed, Spurs are hoping to avoid what would be a disastrous relegation come the end of the season, while Arsenal are aiming to win their first league title in 22 years. Nonetheless, we are expecting an intense battle between both teams in what seems a tough game to call.
