Arsenal Faces Tottenham Hotspur


ArsenalFootball Club established in 1893 to join the football league. In the 1930s the club won five League Championship titles and two FA Cups. The TottenhamHotspur founded in 1882.Tottenham was the 1st club in the 20th century to achieve the League and FA Cup Double. It also won the League Cup once more in 2008. After going 20 games without a victory against their neighbors, Spurs have won three and drawn once in their last four Premier League games against Arsenal. They were visible in the stands every time Arsenal played be it the main show the reserves or the youths. They were the team behind the team.


One side has recently been knocked out of two cups and looks likely yet again to finish the season. The other is flying high in the Premier League still in with a shout of the title and looking to advance into the quarterfinals of a cup competition. The battle between the two sides has rarely been watchable, and Sunday’s north London derby could cement the long speculated. The Frenchman must raise a team bereft of confidence, otherwise he will taste the bitterness of a Spurs double over Arsenal for the first time in his managerial career, the Gunners having not suffered such a fate since 1993 - three years before Wenger arrived at High bury.

With 22 Premier League goals already this campaign, the 28-year-old has been the sole shining light in an otherwise dark and dingy season for his side. Without the impact of the league's leading goal scorer, Arsenal would be in an even more tenuous position. Tottenham offer stability and unity behind the scenes at a time when Arsenal has issues in that area.
