Arsenal slipped up at the weekend when they conceded a penalty in what felt like the 196th minute of injury time and many thought their title aspirations had gone up in smoke but last nights draw between Newcastle United and Manchester United mean't the race was firmly back ON.
Tottenham need a win. Their recent exploits in the Champions League has whet the apetitie for Harry Redknapp, the fans and the players and if Spurs want to keep hold of the likes of Luka Modric and Gareth Bale then they have to qualify for the Champions League again. They are currently 3 points behind Manchester City with this game in hand, plus like last season Tottenham have to play the Citizens. Also going against Tottenham is a fixture after the FA Cup Final where Stoke play Manchester City and Stoke could hand City the 3 points to ensure they have a European campaign next season so Tottenham know 3 points tonight is vital.
The Gunners currently find themselves 7 points behind Manchester United. A win tonight and the lead is cut to 4, if they beat Manchester United at The Emirates on May 1 then the lead is 1 point so even though the gap looks huge the title is still within grasp
This fixture has produced goals in the last couple of years Arsenal won 4-1 in the Carling Cup this season but Tottenahm got revenge winning 3-2 at The Emirates plus of course there was that 4-4 draw in the 2008/09 season so hopefully this run will continue tonight and we have an entertaining 'Title Match'.
For me, I can see Tottenham starting quick and get an early goal but after a ding-dong battle the final result will be a 2-2 draw.
Lets hope Football is the winner :-)
Tottenham/Arsenal fans what do you think the result will be like and will a draw end your title/Champions League hopes?
