Tottenham will try to undermine Arsenal’s title hopes while improving their own Champions League goals.
Richarlison is expected to start for Tottenham this weekend in the North London derby, according to manager Ange Postecoglou. The traditionally heated clash has new components this time around, with Arsenal aiming to win the Premier League title for the first time in 20 years and Tottenham still hoping to finish in the Champions League.
Spurs have fallen off the cliff dramatically following one of the strongest starts to a Premier League season. They had won eight and drawn two of their first ten league games this season before being defeated by Chelsea.
All that will be forgiven if they can defeat their bitter rivals Arsenal this weekend. Speaking with any Spurs supporter, one of the most terrible things they can ever experience is seeing Arsenal win a league title.
So a season that promised so much but is gradually fading into another in which they focus on the positive may be capped with a big North London triumph.
Richarlison could be the chaos that results in triumph.
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou stated that Richarlison would be available for this game after missing the previous three due to a knee ailment.
The Spurs manager told reporters before of their trip to Newcastle: “Not this week. He’s getting close, and the weekend off next weekend will undoubtedly give him time to heal – which he is on course to achieve. Everyone else from last weekend made it through uninjured and is ready to go.
The Spurs manager is set to address the media today ahead of the encounter this weekend, but Richarlison, who has 10 goals, might mean the difference between defeat and victory, or at least a point.
He is noted for thriving in difficult games, as evidenced by his tenure at Watford and Everton, where he scored crucial goals and made the difference.
Spurs will need fight and consistency, and after missing the last few games due to injury, the Brazilian might be the spark the Lilyhwites need as they approach one of the season’s most important games.
