It is a highly anticipated North London Derby for both sides which could impact how their season goes, the continuation of each manager, and the financial goals for next season asides from which European club tournament they will participate in.
Tottenham were imperious in their first leg round of 16 win against Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb at home while Arsenal were comfortable winners away against Greek side Olympiacos.
The North London derby brings about the priority for each club this season. Tottenham has a seven-point lead against Arsenal in the Premier League and could still qualify for the Champions League next season through the top four. On the other hand, Arsenal’s top-four hopes are all but over with 11 games left.
While Tottenham can still secure Europa League football by winning the Carabao Cup, Arsenal’s only way to get back to Europe is by winning the Europa League.
