Eric Dier makes big claim about Tottenham fans ahead of north London derby with Arsenal

Eric Dier believes that Thursday night's north London derby could bring the best atmosphere yet seen at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Dier was one of those who shone in Spurs' 1-1 draw at Liverpool on Saturday but the result was not enough to keep Antonio Conte's men's top four destiny in their own hands. Arsenal's 2-1 win against 10-man Leeds the following day ensured that the Gunners will arrive on Thursday evening with a four-point cushion between fourth and fifth place and the knowledge that if they win then they will finish in the Champions League qualification spots.

Dier is excited about the upcoming derby and what the Tottenham fans will do with the noise levels inside the stadium. There will be a little extra spice because Spurs and Conte were not impressed at the original postponement of the fixture in January, with the Gunners having one reported Covid case at the time.
