Breaking the ice, Tottenham will face Arsenal at Emirates Stadium tomorrow however they just won 1 out of 29 league visits. Antonio Conte, manager for Tottenham has a lot of experience being an ex-player. Even though, being with Chelsea for a long time, Arsenal has been a strong contender for a long time.
Son Heung-Min scored a hat-trick against Leicester City giving Tottenham a score of 18 goals this season. Manchester City was able to score more than Tottenham this season. Lately, it has been tough as we have seen them struggling so far with a draw 2-2 with Chelsea and a draw 1-1 with West Ham United.
Conte seems to have growing likings for Richarlison lately. Yves Bissouma and Clement Lenglet also seem to be in close ties with the coach. Not all players got the chance to showcase their skills at every ground when it comes to Tottenham and only Ivan Perisic was able to feature in almost all games so far.
Conte says, “Arsenal has only lost 1 game and has been doing amazingly well. They have made good signings and the team has improved too. Arteta has been the key for Arsenal for many years. He is young but has a lot to offer and also he has a very good career ahead of him.”
