"All is not well in North London. Arsenal are exhibiting signs of a Premier League title wobble despite being the most consistent team in the division this season, while Spurs are teetering precariously above the drop zone. Last season's 17th place finish was an embarrassment for a club of Tottenham's stature and it was hoped the arrival of Thomas Frank from Brentford in the summer would herald a return to better days."
"But, the Dane was unable to steer Spurs clear of trouble and paid the price with his job, just eight months after his appointment. Following Frank's departure, Spurs moved quickly to appoint an interim head coach ahead of this weekend's North London derby with Arsenal. Igor Tudor has been installed on a temporary basis until the end of the season and the ex-Juventus coach has a job on his hands right from the off."
North London is unstable as Arsenal show signs of a Premier League title wobble despite season-long consistency while Spurs teeter above the relegation zone. Tottenham endured a 17th-place finish last season and the summer appointment of Thomas Frank failed to reverse fortunes; Frank was sacked eight months after his hiring. Igor Tudor has been installed as interim head coach until the end of the season. Arsenal have drawn their last two league matches, including surrendering a two-goal lead to Championship-bound Wolverhampton Wanderers, yet remain on course for a first Premier League title in over 20 years with a well-equipped squad. Spurs have won only two home league games, making the derby crucial for confidence and survival, and a victory would strengthen support for Tudor.
