Tottenham vs Arsenal
Tottenham have had time to think about their 4-0 loss to Newcastle, but they're not out of the running for fourth place. They have two extra games to catch up to Aston Villa. Next, they face Arsenal in the North London derby, which is their 173rd league encounter. Both teams have a lot on the line in this crucial match.
Spurs had some setbacks with Destiny Udogie's injury sidelining him for the season. On a brighter note, Richarlison may make a comeback from his two-game absence. Playing at home gives Tottenham an advantage as they've won their last three Premier League games there, even after conceding first in two of them.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are coming off a huge 5-0 win against Chelsea, their third London derby victory this season by a big margin. They're in top form and lead the league going into this match, with a good recent record against Tottenham. They haven't lost in their last six away league games, showing they're serious contenders for the title this season.
Nottingham Vs Man City
This past week has been tough for Nottingham Forest, with a disappointing 2-0 loss to Everton leaving them just a point above the relegation zone. Shortly after the match, the club faced backlash for critiquing referee decisions on social media. Now, they must focus on improving their form, having only won one of their last nine games.
Hosting Manchester City at the City Ground offers Forest a chance to bounce back, having been unbeaten in their last three home games. Despite City's strong performance, including an 18-game unbeaten run, Forest has historically held their ground at home against City, with just three losses in their last 16 meetings.
Manchester City, on the other hand, continue their dominant run in the league, with a recent 4-0 win against Brighton. The team, led by Pep Guardiola, aims to secure a double over Forest, boasting the best away points-per-game average in the league. Guardiola also seeks victory in his 300th Premier League match in charge, a milestone achieved by only a few managers in the competition's history.
