Arsenal faces pressure in London derby after City closes gap
Arsenal must overcome Tottenham in Sunday's Premier League derby to extend their lead over Manchester City to five points. City's 2-1 win over Newcastle on Saturday means they are now two points behind Arsenal after 27 matches. Arsenal can increase the gap to five points with a victory, while a draw keeps the race alive. Tottenham seeks to avoid another derby defeat after losing 4-1 at the Emirates last November. Both teams drew their last league games (Arsenal 2-2 Wolves, Tottenham 2-1 Newcastle). Arsenal's Mikel Arteta has no injury concerns, with Havertz and Odegaard expected to play. Tottenham's Igor Tudor is without Wilson Odobert (ACL), Pedro Porro (thigh), Dejan Kulusevski (knee), James Maddison (ACL), and Mohammed Kudus (thigh). Kick-off is 5:30 pm Nigerian time.
