London, Jan 14 (NationPress) Tottenham Hotspur is currently experiencing a difficult period, resulting in the club dropping to 12th position in the Premier League standings. The team has managed to secure victory in only one of their last seven league matches, but they are now gearing up for a crucial confrontation against their fierce rivals, Arsenal.

Head coach Ange Postecoglou recognized the significance of the upcoming North London Derby against the Gunners, emphasizing that there is no better moment to initiate a winning streak. "I sensed the intensity from the moment I arrived, but I have always been honest about my feelings and never claimed that this means everything to me when I have only just arrived.

"However, you grasp the context of the match and its importance to the club, the supporters, and our season. From that standpoint, right from our first encounter, I was fully aware. Much like my time in Glasgow, I understand what it signifies and the consequences—both positive and negative.

"I have emphasized this from the very first game, and this year's match holds as much weight as ever, especially for us and our season. We must begin winning matches in the league, and there is no better venue to start than here,” stated Ange during the pre-match press briefing.

Despite holding the second position in the standings, Arsenal's season appears to have hit a snag, having not secured a win in their last three matches, falling six points behind Liverpool, trailing Newcastle United 0-2 in the first leg of the Carabao Cup, and being eliminated from the FA Cup. The squad has also faced numerous injuries, compounding Mikel Arteta's challenges.

The upcoming North London Derby presents a significant chance for the visiting team to clinch a victory at the Emirates.

"Given our current league position, regardless of potential turning points, we must begin to win matches and ascend the table. While it poses a significant challenge for us tomorrow night, there exists an opportunity to achieve that,” he added.
