Tottenham star Cristian Romero believes his side can still catch rivals Arsenal this season ahead of Sunday's huge North London Derby clash. The Lilywhites sit a whole 11 points behind their near neighbours, who top the Premier League, but can close that gap and put a dent in their title hopes.
The clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is set to be a feisty one, with a potential repeat of last season's clash that eventually saw Spurs leapfrog the Gunners for a top four finish. This campaign the reverse fixture ended in a 3-1 defeat, but head coach Antonio Conte is expecting a great reception at home.
"My expectation is always the same," the Italian said before the clash. "Our fans they never disappointed us because in every moment of the season they show to stay with us in a positive and negative situation. For sure we know very well the importance of this game for the fans, for the rivalry there is between Tottenham and Arsenal. Last season I remember a fantastic atmosphere, an amazing atmosphere and I am sure also in this game we will find the same atmosphere."
