"Mikel Arteta's men are in danger of blowing a commanding position in the title race after successive draws against Brentford and Wolves left them with just two wins in their last seven league matches. The Gunners squandered the lead in both matches, with Wednesday's 2-2 draw at bottom-of-the-table Wolves especially galling as they conceded a stoppage-time equaliser having led 2-0. Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side will move two points behind Arsenal if they beat Newcastle at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday."
"Meanwhile, Tottenham's new coach, Igor Tudor, faces a baptism of fire in his first game in charge of the club as he is tasked with steering Spurs out of a relegation battle. Thomas Frank was sacked as Tottenham manager following the defeat to Newcastle earlier in February, as a dire domestic campaign has left Spurs in 16th place going into the weekend, just five points above the relegation zone."
"Igor Tudor's first game in charge of Spurs is a north London derby against wobbling Premier League leaders Arsenal. Who: Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal What: English Premier League Where: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, UK When: Sunday, February 22 at 4:30pm (16:30 GMT) How to follow: We'll have all the build-up on Al Jazeera Sport from 13:30 GMT in advance of our live text commentary stream."
