Tottenham news

Dele Alli has teased an imminent return to professional football after his emotional homecoming at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday. The Spurs cult hero was the club's half-time Guest of Honour for the north London derby against Arsenal, and the former England star revealed he could be back on the pitch very soon.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has sent out a warning to his players ahead of Sunday's north London derby against Tottenham. The Gunners head into the match after throwing away a two-goal lead to Wolves in midweek and having see their lead at the top over Manchester City cut to just two points. As the pressure grows on Arsenal, Arteta has urged his players to stand up and be counted.

'Bottle jobs' is a slur that has often been thrown in Arsenal's direction in recent years, after Mikel Arteta's side finished second, second and second in each of the past three Premier League seasons. While they have grounds to argue against that being the case in those instances, even the most ardent Gunners fan would admit they had 'bottled it' if they fail to claim the title this time around.

How to watch the Premier League match between Tottenham and Arsenal, as well as kick-off time and team news

Former Tottenham star Peter Crouch is backing his old team to cause an upset and beat Arsenal in the north London derby on Sunday at the Emirates. Spurs head into the game on a dismal run of form and having sacked manager Thomas Frank. Igor Tudor has been appointed as interim head coach and faces a tough test in his first game in charge as he comes up against the Premier League leaders.

New interim Tottenham Hotspur manager Igor Tudor says he has faith in the "enormous quality" of his squad and is "100%" certain they will avoid relegation. Spurs sacked Thomas Frank after a poor first half of the season, with the Lilywhites down in 16th in the Premier League despite progressing to the last 16 of the Champions League. Tudor will take charge of Spurs for the first time on Sunday against Arsenal.

Declan Rice has revealed the message Bukayo Saka gave him about north London derbies when he first signed for Arsenal. The Gunners visit their local rivals on Sunday looking to reaffirm their Premier League title credentials after a disappointing 2-2 draw with Wolves on Wednesday. Arsenal are unbeaten in competitive meetings with Spurs since 2022 and Rice believes Sunday's clash is the "perfect game" for his side to get back on track.

For most of their shared existence as rivals, Arsenal have had the upper hand over Tottenham. Be that from 1913 when Woolwich Arsenal moved into Spurs territory north of the River Thames, from 1919 when the Gunners beat Tottenham into being voted into the Football League or by winning the title twice at White Hart Lane, the red half of this conflict has so often been superior.

Tottenham Hotspur have appointed former Chelsea caretaker manager Bruno Saltor as Igor Tudor's assistant, as Spurs prepare for the north London derby against Arsenal this weekend. The Croatian has been appointed as interim manager after the sacking of Thomas Frank, with the club languishing in 16th place in the Premier League table.

New Tottenham interim boss Igor Tudor has claimed that he is not enjoying managing the club ahead of his first game, a vitally important north London derby against an Arsenal side attempting to win the Premier League for the first time in 2004. Tudor's Spurs lie 16th, just five points clear of the relegation zone.

Tottenham have been brutally mocked by a Swedish politician, with the Scandinavian nation being urged to ensure that their economy does not become “Spursy”. That word has been used to condemn Premier League heavyweights on a regular basis down the years, as they struggle to deliver on expectations, with the north London giants in danger of being dragged into a relegation battle this season.

Dele Alli is heading back to Tottenham, with the ex-England international set to make a special appearance at his former club. The 29-year-old midfielder is currently a free agent, with enticing offers being waited on after severing ties with Serie A side Como. Dele will be a guest of Spurs when they face arch-rivals Arsenal in the north London derby on Sunday.

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly lost an important sponsor worth millions to the club, with the company pulling the plug on a long-standing partnership with the north London club as the threat of relegation from the Premier League looms large. The sponsorship will terminate at the end of the season regardless of whether or not Spurs stay up and might not be the only casualty, as multiple other sponsors also consider their futures with the club.
