It isn't quite a straight fight between the two north London clubs just yet, but for Tottenham and Arsenal fans it might be beginning to feel like one.
Each is keeping a close eye on the other as we head into the home straight in the top four race, and is clear who currently has the momentum based on recent results.
Arsenal's capitulation at Crystal Palace on Monday will have furthered Tottenham's belief, particularly with Antonio Conte's side in side in such good form, but with Manchester United, West Ham and perhaps more to contend with in the battle, what are the respective sides' fixtures looking like across the remainder of the campaign?
We've taken a closer look.
Tottenham - 54 points from 30 games, +15 goal difference
Spurs appear to be hitting their stride at just the right time.
At times formidable going forward, the 5-1 win at home to Newcastle on Sunday was their fifth success in their last six in the league, a run during which they've scored 21 goals.
The one blip in that time was the entirely avoidable 3-2 defeat to a Cristiano Ronaldo-powered Manchester United at Old Trafford, a result which has only looked worse with each game that has passed since.
With Harry Kane in creative mood and goals coming from all over the team, the suggestion from the rapidly improving Matt Doherty that Spurs have 'clicked' after the Newcastle win looks to be a very reasonable one, and it is clear what the main reason for that is.
It may have come a little too late in the season for the liking of some, not least him, but Spurs do now look every inch a Conte side.
They should approach their next four fixtures - Aston Villa away, Brighton at home, Brentford away and Leicester at home - with confidence, with the first of those probably the trickiest, although Christian Eriksen will have something to say about the trip to Hounslow.
Liverpool at Anfield comes next on what would be a potentially raucous Saturday 7.45pm kick-off when the Reds could be chasing the title, and with that then feeding straight into a midweek north London derby then drama is sure to follow.
Home to a perhaps still battling Burnley and away at a probably already relegated Norwich then rounds off the campaign.
Arsenal - 54 points from 29 games, +10 goal difference
On a night when they possessed the perfect chance to show what they're made of in this top four race, Arsenal went and stank Selhurst Park out.
The Gunners were awful in losing 3-0 to Crystal Palace, with the loss combing with Tottenham's Sunday hammering of Newcastle to completely flip the pair's goal difference.
Mikel Arteta could only apologise after seeing his side completely outplayed, as a run of six wins from their last seven games - with the one loss coming at home to Liverpool - came crashing down.
The Gunners boss can only hope that his side's confidence going forward doesn't prove to be as brittle as their defending, although a game at home to a seemingly shattered Brighton at the weekend might well be the perfect fixture for them right now.
After that, things get a little tougher.
Successive away games at Southampton and Chelsea will be a test of their mettle, and then come fellow top-four contenders Manchester United and West Ham.
A home game with a probably safe Leeds is next on the horizon in what you'd think would be an ideal clash, before the potentially decisive north London derby trip to Tottenham which could end up having a huge say in everything.
Newcastle away and an Everton side perhaps still fighting for their lives then close out the campaign, with the Gunners' set of fixtures that bit more difficult than their rivals.
