Former Tottenham captain Michael Dawson believes that the North London derby between Arsenal and Spurs will be “make or break” for both clubs come the end of the season. The rivals are currently battling it out for Champions League qualification, with everything left to play for.
Antonio Conte has guided his side to fourth in the table currently, level on points with the Gunners but with a superior goal difference and two more games played. As for Mikel Arteta, he has put his side in the driving seat to finish in the qualification places, but with matches against Manchester United, Chelsea and West Ham all to come, it could be a tough run-in.
That’s without mentioning a match that will be crucial to both, the rearranged North London derby. Tensions usually run high between the clubs anyway, but add in the arguments surrounding the first game being postponed due to a number of injuries and one covid case and it could threaten to spill over.
