Arsenal look to lock up a top-four spot in the Premier League when they travel to face rival Tottenham on Thursday in the North London derby. The Gunners are in fourth place with 66 points, holding a four-point lead over Spurs. A victory would make it mathematically impossible for any team to be able to jump the Gunners for that coveted Champions League spot. Spurs, meanwhile, face what is really a must-win game if they have hopes of a return to UCL.
