Attack, put them to the sword. If Newcastle can get 4 lets go for 8.
The tactic that has worked against us in recent months is to sit in and hit us on the break and / or set pieces.
You are well drilled in holding a block and well capable of exploiting our spaces on the counter.
If Martinelli is fit, him and Saka will find space.
We are probably more dangerous to teams who come at us, although we have lost some energy in our game so are far from effective in and out of possession currently.
I do think we'll be well up for this. Big noisy crowd, so we may be a bit fast and furious at the start, so would expect Arsenal to play their way into the game....a bit like we did at theirs
We have to attack them from the start, score early, quieten the crowd. That has to be the objective. Sitting back and giving the crowd encouragement in what is effectively their cup final x100 is a bad idea.
I’m expecting us to start fast and furious but get picked off on the break early which will knock all the zing out of us
I can then see a bit of a battering to follow ….im going 4 or 5 with us getting a consolation goal
I’ve read people thinking we would have two weeks break and be fresh…..works the opposite with our lot …..we seem to play better when the games come thick and fast and get a bit of rhythm
One of the reasons we have fell apart at the end of the season is too many breaks (and our stupid really high line) never known such a stop start season
I’ll take a point right now but Arsenal are too strong right now for us ….. fear the worse
I’ve been impressed with arsenal this season….Rice is top draw
We will have to play very well to get anything from this game.
Our high line is a worry against you as you have players who can exploit spaces.
Always the biggest game for me and I'm hoping we can derail your title hopes.

Our cup final this will be the 3rd year in the last 10 you’ve actually managed to finish above us
I think we've gotta come out fast and try and put them on the back foot, while also accepting they'll have a spell in the game where they will put us under pressure and we need to have a plan for that, which would be like Devonshite suggested.
I believe we can get goals out of Spurs both when we're on top and when we're on the counter, so hopefully we can stay disciplined and keep them relatively quiet at the other end.
Chelsea game was perfect prep too, with a bit of time to rest/prepare and a game where we can spread minutes around. If we don't win we won't really have any excuses.

Who even keeps track of loser stuff like this? Defo your cup final.
Spurs fans aren’t going to start pretending that this game isn’t their entire season, are they?
It’s not like Everton v Liverpool being Everton’s cup final as they had nothing else to play for
We have 4th to go for …..which isn’t dead and buried even if we lose this one
Definitely a baiting comment and strike bit
They think all their players are better than ours, they think their managers' better than ours, they've also had 15 days rest and they're at home. Onus is on them.
Just play methodical, keep it tight and pick them off.
I hear from Spurs fans that they would rather get 5th than Arsenal win the league, they won't do anything in CL and Levy won't spend any of the money anyway. It seems that it's more important than for Spurs to stop Arsenal than them getting 4th
It's gonna be similar to Liverpool Vs Everton imo? It will be frantic and frenzied, you have more to play for and should be winning but Spurs aren't anyone's mugs and can play well so it's all about attitude and approach, imo it's your toughest game left and if you get three points it could be pivotal to your championship winning attitude?
People are saying City will win it no doubt? I don't think it's that clear cut but do think they can do it, all that said you're defo still in it but will have to make sure you dont let the game get into a derby issue, as a neutral I'm honestly looking forward to it
It’s not baiting tbh. Spurs fans would love nothing more than to end our title challenge, and I get it, if roles were reversed I would be exactly the same.
Can guarantee that even though 1 point will do nothing for you getting top 4, the Spurs fans at the stadium will celebrate a draw if it happens

Are you saying we would take beating you over finishing fourth?
I’d take a loss Sunday if we then get fourth after
That’s our season ….not beating you lot
You are much better than us …..do I want to beat ? Of course but it’s not our season
I'd take Europa conference if it meant Arsenal not winning the league
You are an exception, I’ve seen you say on here before that you would rather see Arsenal win the league than City which is just odd

Not really ….cant stand city and how they got to where they are
I’m also not from London so I guess I don’t get arsenal fans rubbing it in my face
If Tomi and Partey can go again I don't see much of a reason to change it but i wouldnt be surprised to see Jorginho start or see Jesus from the left.
On the approach, we are chasing the title so go at them hard, press high, kill them in transitions and try to end the game early. I know they play high so the temptation is to sit back and pick them off and if we get a couple of goals then maybe we switch it up.
Theoretically it should be better for us if Spurs are open. Our defence is as good as it’s ever been in decades, so we should be getting all 3 points. There’s no alternative.

Yeah I think that's literally the worst thing you could do. You don't want a crazy basketball game. You need to kill the atmosphere and frustrate our front line, wait for Bissouma to not track his runner and you're in.
