Frank Lampard's Everton and Dean Smith's Norwich Cry will play their part in the deciding factor on who out of Arsenal or Tottenham will qualify for Champions League football next term.
Spurs' 3-0 victory over Mikel Arteta's side threw the destination of the final top-four place back into the stratosphere as both now battle to make the cut for the top four. Antonio Conte's men had built on the North London derby victory with their tight 1-0 win over Burnley on Sunday, which handed the Gunners all the pressure going into their fixture against Newcastle United. "I am very happy because I saw a team that improved a lot step by step and now I think deserves, in the same way like Arsenal, to go for a place in the Champions League but we will see what happens at the end of the season," Conte reflected in his post-match press conference.
"For us another game against Norwich. It won't be easy, there are no easy games, but I think it was positive for the team, for the players, for the club to fight for something important." Conte had even gone on to admit like many other Premier League fans, he would also have his eyes glued to the television for the Gunners' fixture at St. James' Park. Because, as the Italian joked, while he loves football, he also enjoys suffering.
