Arsenal​ ​to​ ​Match​ ​21-Year-Old​ ​Streak​ ​If​ ​They​ ​Fail​ ​to​ ​Beat​ ​Tottenham​ ​in​ ​North​ ​London​ ​Derby 

Arsenal​ ​will​ ​play​ ​host​ ​to​ ​Tottenham​ ​Hotspur​ ​in​ ​Saturday’s​ ​early​ ​kick-off​ ​hoping​ ​a​ ​win​ ​at​ ​the 

Emirates​ ​Stadium​ ​will​ ​pull​ ​them​ ​within​ ​a​ ​point​ ​of​ ​their​ ​north​ ​London​ ​derby​ ​opponents. 

 

Arsene​ ​Wenger’s​ ​side​ ​have​ ​seen​ ​the​ ​north​ ​London​ ​power​ ​balance​ ​shift​ ​gradually​ ​in​ ​favour​ ​of 

Tottenham​ ​over​ ​recent​ ​years,​ ​and​ ​after​ ​failing​ ​to​ ​beat​ ​their​ ​greatest​ ​rivals​ ​in​ ​their​ ​last​ ​three 

meetings​ ​at​ ​the​ ​Emirates,​ ​Arsenal​ ​are​ ​at​ ​risk​ ​of​ ​reviving​ ​an​ ​undesirable​ ​streak.  

 

A​ ​3-1​ ​defeat​ ​at​ ​Manchester​ ​City​ ​before​ ​the​ ​international​ ​break​ ​left​ ​the​ ​Gunners​ ​stranded​ ​in​ ​sixth, 

level​ ​on​ ​points​ ​with​ ​Liverpool​ ​after​ ​11​ ​matches,​ ​while​ ​Spurs​ ​are​ ​matched​ ​with​ ​Manchester​ ​United 

in​ ​their​ ​hope​ ​to​ ​hound​ ​down​ ​leaders​ ​City. 

 

Wenger’s​ ​men​ ​are​ ​under​ ​far​ ​greater​ ​pressure​ ​to​ ​snatch​ ​a​ ​result​ ​on​ ​home​ ​soil,​ ​and​ ​failure​ ​to​ ​win 

would​ ​see​ ​the​ ​Gunners​ ​match​ ​a​ ​winless​ ​run​ ​they​ ​haven’t​ ​mustered​ ​in​ ​more​ ​than​ ​20​ ​years. 

 

That’s​ ​because​ ​it​ ​was​ ​back​ ​in​ ​1996​ ​that​ ​Arsenal​ ​last​ ​failed​ ​to​ ​beat​ ​Tottenham​ ​in​ ​four​ ​successive 

home​ ​matches.​ ​In​ ​four​ ​matches​ ​between​ ​May​ ​1993​ ​and​ ​April​ ​1996—back​ ​when​ ​Highbury​ ​was​ ​still 

the​ ​Gunners’​ ​home—the​ ​Gunners​ ​lost​ ​once​ ​before​ ​drawing​ ​their​ ​next​ ​three​ ​clashes. 

 

It​ ​was​ ​in​ ​that​ ​1993​ ​encounter​ ​that​ ​Teddy​ ​Sheringham​ ​set​ ​Spurs​ ​on​ ​their​ ​way​ ​before​ ​a​ ​John​ ​Hendry 

double​ ​helped​ ​complete​ ​a​ ​famous​ ​victory,​ ​not​ ​to​ ​mention​ ​Tottenham’s​ ​biggest​ ​win​ ​at​ ​Arsenal 

since​ ​1982. 

 

Manager​ ​Mauricio​ ​Pochettino​ ​now​ ​sits​ ​at​ ​the​ ​helm​ ​and​ ​will​ ​be​ ​wary​ ​of​ ​the​ ​fact​ ​Spurs​ ​have​ ​only 

beaten​ ​the​ ​Gunners​ ​on​ ​their​ ​own​ ​turf​ ​once​ ​since​ ​then,​ ​in​ ​2010​ ​when​ ​a​ ​late​ ​Younes​ ​Kaboul​ ​winner 

stole​ ​all​ ​three​ ​points​ ​for​ ​the​ ​visitors. 

 

But​ ​Arsenal​ ​have​ ​been​ ​imperious​ ​at​ ​the​ ​Emirates​ ​of​ ​late​ ​and​ ​have​ ​won​ ​their​ ​last​ ​10​ ​Premier 

League​ ​matches​ ​at​ ​home,​ ​not​ ​to​ ​mention​ ​they’ve​ ​scored​ ​at​ ​least​ ​twice​ ​in​ ​their​ ​last​ ​eight​ ​games​ ​at 

the​ ​Emirates. 

 

However,​ ​Tottenham​ ​are​ ​a​ ​team​ ​on​ ​the​ ​tear​ ​at​ ​the​ ​moment​ ​and​ ​have​ ​won​ ​five​ ​of​ ​their​ ​last​ ​six 

league​ ​matches,​ ​not​ ​to​ ​mention​ ​defeating​ ​Real​ ​Madrid​ ​3-1​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Champions​ ​League​ ​group​ ​stage. 

 

Arsenal​ ​may​ ​be​ ​in​ ​sight​ ​of​ ​pulling​ ​level​ ​with​ ​a​ ​winless​ ​derby​ ​streak​ ​they’d​ ​rather​ ​steer​ ​clear​ ​of,​ ​but 

leadership​ ​is​ ​needed​ ​in​ ​fixtures​ ​such​ ​as​ ​this​ ​if​ ​Wenger’s​ ​men​ ​are​ ​to​ ​revive​ ​their​ ​spot​ ​as​ ​title 

contenders.
