Whenever you are among the top two of English Premier League especially in the last phase of the season, you are not expected to lose any game even though it does not affect your ranking too much and this is what is now expected from English club Tottenham who has been comfortably placed at number two on the board with a three points lead to third placed Arsenal. Their defeat to West Ham by a narrow 1-0 margin actually surprised everyone coz they were not likely to lose a game rather to underdogs and when they could not overcome the hosts, it was like a shock for Spurs fans since they are already dreaming their side holding the league title! On the other side, last game made rest of the season rather exciting since Gunners are now just three points trailing to the Mauricio Pochettino side which makes their upcoming showdown eagerly awaited. Fans all over the world are excited to see one of the biggest showdowns in premier league history when White Hart Lane side battles with Arsène Wenger men to survive their premier league odds.
If Emirates Stadium side wins the game, they will be equal points wise to the Spurs but since they are not having a better Goal Difference they would have to wait to improve their attacking line to score more goals to improve their GD score to secure the second position. However, if they lose, it would practically end their campaign with just a Championship league qualification since not many games are now left in the season. Showing his firm confidence about Saturday’s mega showdown, 44-year-old Argentine boss said, “It’s difficult to explain. Sometimes you miss the same pass, one day you miss your teammate … sometimes it happens. They’re not robots. They are not machines. We have the right attitude. I think that we fight and sometimes this happens in football. They are not machines.
“For me it was an exception. When we analysed the game this morning, we felt happier. Last night the feeling was that we missed some passes. We were not playing the normal way that we play — properly. Sometimes we conceded some chances. There was a lot of factors where the team feel bad or I feel bad after the game. But today I am happy because the team showed that they want to fight. They say that you know when you don’t play well. The team was tough for the opponent.”
