Antonio Conte will most likely make six changes to the Tottenham line-up from the team that started the game at the Emirates Stadium earlier this season. When Nuno Espirito Santo faced his first and only North London Derby, Spurs produced a lacklustre performance and lost the game 3-1.
Since then, the Lilywhites have come on leaps and bounds, not only with a change in manager but with improvements in performances and results. Their 1-1 draw against title contending Liverpool indicated the display they can produce with desire and fight.
The North London Derby was originally scheduled to take place in January but after a request from the Arsenal camp, the tie was rescheduled. Both sides had to wait a while for a new date but Thursday was decided on and a massive three points are up for grabs for both, in their battle for a spot inside the top four.
