Tottenham Hotspur striker Peter Crouch believes that a victory over Arsenal will cement Spur's credentials as a top four club.
Crouch is set to start tonight at the Emirates as fellow countryman Jermain Defoe misses out through suspension, and talked up the impact of a potential victory against their traditional foes.
"This is probably the best opportunity we've had of breaking into the top four," Crouch told the London Evening Standard.
Spurs are without key players Aaron Lennon, Luka Modric and Defoe for the derby encounter but Couch is confident the squad's replacement players can provide adequate cover.
He continued: "If Aaron is out, David Bentley - who is an England international - can step in, while Niko Kranjcar is there to replace Luka."

"This is probably the best opportunity we've had of breaking into the top four," Crouch told the London Evening Standard.
"If you speak to anyone about the top four, we're always mentioned - and we deserve to be.
"Manchester United and Chelsea look the teams to beat this year - and clubs like Spurs, Aston Villa and Manchester City look very close to challenging and catching Arsenal and Liverpool.
"It would be a big blow to strike if we could beat them. They've always been finishing above us. But our squad is closer than ever to them, and we're certainly pushing them very hard."Spurs are without key players Aaron Lennon, Luka Modric and Defoe for the derby encounter but Couch is confident the squad's replacement players can provide adequate cover.
He continued: "If Aaron is out, David Bentley - who is an England international - can step in, while Niko Kranjcar is there to replace Luka."
"We will miss those players. Jermain and Luka are two world-class players, but we have a lot of quality to replace them."
