Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal are in north London derby action this weekend in a game that will have serious ramifications in the upper echelons of the table.
Spurs host the Gunners at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, and whoever wins this has the chance to crush their rival’s hopes for the season.
Should Tottenham win, they’ll boost their Premier League top-four hopes and all-but end Arsenal’s hopes of winning the title against Manchester City and Liverpool.
However, a win for the Gunners will keep up the pressure on Pep Guardiola’s Citizens and also effectively end Tottenham’s Champions League qualification hopes.
Arsenal currently top the table, while Man City are second – with a game in hand – and Liverpool are third.
Tottenham are in fifth place, six points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa, but Spurs have two games in hand on the Villans.
Needless to say, we’ll have a much clearer picture of how the top four could shape up at the end of matchweek 35.
Many pundits have been having their say on the north London derby and the title race ahead of the weekend action, including Jamie O’Hara.
What has Jamie O’Hara said about Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City?
The Tottenham-leaning talkSPORT pundit and former Spurs midfielder is pretty confident of how the Lilywhites will get on this weekend.
Speaking to a Man City fan on the radio station, O’Hara said: “Arsenal have got to play Spurs, it’s an easy three points for Spurs.
“You’ve got a game in hand – it’s all over, get the open top bus parade ready!
“Just repair Liverpool’s farewell tour bus and take that over to Manchester, get it fixed up and get the tour bus ready.”

O’Hara is certainly quite bullish on Tottenham’s chances against Arsenal, but honestly, it’s a very hard one to call.
Spurs are playing at home, the players and fans will be well up for it against their bitter rivals, whose title hopes could end on their rivals’ patch.
After Everton all-but ended Liverpool’s title hopes at Goodison Park, Tottenham will be hoping lightning strikes twice.
However, Arsenal are a strong team and they should be a lot more up for it than Liverpool were away at Everton.
