Arsenal, sitting atop the Premier League, travel to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a North London derby that could be pivotal for their title ambitions. The Gunners’ recent 2‑0 loss to Wolves, coupled with only two wins from seven league games, has sparked criticism over their “bottle” character and raised doubts about their nerve in high‑pressure matches.
With Tottenham struggling to 13 league games, the fixture offers Arsenal a chance to cement their lead, but the team must overcome the mental hurdle that has plagued them after the Wolves debacle and the social media mockery that followed. A win could reaffirm Arteta’s side as title contenders, while a slip could fuel the narrative that the Gunners are choking when it matters most.
