We wanted to know how you’re feeling going into Sunday’s north London derby, as Ange Postecoglou’s side prepare to face a potentially weakened Arsenal team, without Declan Rice (suspended) and Martin Odegaard (injured).
Here are some of your thoughts:
David: It is too early to say this game is ‘make or break’ for Tottenham‘s season, but this is the one game we really don’t want to lose. A win on Sunday could change the mood around Spurs for the rest of the season. Likewise, a defeat will be pretty hard to take and could have an impact on the fixtures after the NLD, which are pretty tricky.
Pedro: Spurs will raise their game and get their act together by turning Arsenal over, giving themselves a massive boost, injecting some confidence and self-belief, while denting that of Arsenal and Mikel Arteta. Bring it on!
Trevor: Without Rice and Odegaard, Spurs have a chance to get something out of the game. I’d be very worried if Arsenal are full strength. Spurs are desperate for a goalscorer and I’m not sure if Dominic Solanke is what we need. There will be goals in this game, so I’m going for a 2-1 win for Tottenham.
Oli: Arsenal will beat us comfortably despite their missing players. We lost to Newcastle without their first-choice defence. We can’t defend and we can’t score our chances – and I doubt this has changed during the international break.
John: Hopefully Solanke will be fit. We need to win this one before we lose too much ground on the teams above us. COYS!
Ben: Any Arsenal side is unfortunately better than a fully fit Spurs XI, in my opinion. I hate to say it, but Arteta has his squad drilled in all aspects of his vision, while Ange is still unable to get consistency out of this squad. At the moment, we appear to have not moved forward since the 2023-24 season, especially in defence.
