Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has turned up the heat ahead of this weekend’s North London Derby by saying he "hates" it when teams try to intimidate the referee.
Spurs host Premier League leaders Arsenal on Sunday afternoon in what promises to be a feisty encounter between the two rivals. The Gunners have been charged by the Football Association for failing to control their players in each of their past two matches.
Arsenal have been fined £40,000 by the FA for failing to control their players in the closing stages of the 0-0 top-flight draw with Newcastle on January 3 and are awaiting punishment for protesting decisions during the 3-0 win over Oxford United in the FA Cup on Monday.
