May 12th Tottenham hosts Arsenal in what looks like to be each teams most important game of the season. Arsenal currently sit fourth with 63 points and Tottenham sit 61 points each needing these 3 points to secure Champions league football next season. Arsenal are on decent form winning their last 3 games. Meanwhile Tottenham have only won one of their last 3 games.
Key Player
Arsenal: Bukayo Saka
Saka has long been Arsenals hope for the future, and this season he is currently having a stellar season with 10 goals and 6 assists. He is merely 20 years old and has changed Arsenals season around.
Tottenham: Heung-min Son
Son currently sits second in the charts for scoring with 19 goals and 7 assists. He has been Tottenham's star this year alongside Harry Kane. If Tottenham look to sneak into the top 4 Son will be involved in doing so.
Keys to victory
Arsenal: Arsenals passing has been sublime this season and one of their strong suits, coupled with many young players, they have one of the more energetic teams in the Premier League and are a force to be reckoned with. It is their passing and how they handle the game mentally that will decide if they win this game that will most likely decide their season.
Tottenham: Tottenham will look to rely on their star striker Harry Kane to head in any flighted balls they lob up to him. Tottenham do best when they play through Harry Kane he is a great build up player. Additionally Tottenham will need to utilize their wingers outside, specifically Son as he is having a tremendous season. If they win this game make no mistake it will be through Son and Kane's efforts.
I think this game is up in the air, each team is capable of victory, however I think Arsenal will hold off Tottenham and secure top 4 for this season.
