Global Soccer / Football News

Arsene Wenger's Arsenal (18-5-5) were knocked out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich on Tuesday and have been written off by many in the race for the domestic title, but know a win over their local rivals on Sunday would leave them still very much in contention for the Premier League crown as well as effectively sealing their top-four status for another season. The Gunners finished just one point above Spurs last season, but would go nine clear of their rivals with a win - which would also be their third derby victory of the season following a 1-0 league win in September and a comfortable 2-0 FA Cup victory in January.
