However, Alexis Sánchez scored a goal with 14 minutes to play to rescue Arsenal a point and leave Spurs without the chance to go top of the Premier League.

But Campbell believes the fact that everything was pointing to a Tottenham victory proved too much of a burden to carry for Pochettino's side as they surrendered the lead against 10 men to draw 2-2.

One of their biggest stars, Chilean midfielder Alexis Sanchez, has stated that the Gunners need to find the hunger within themselves to be champions - something he believes is severely lacking at Arsenal right now.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino admitted he was "disappointed" at only drawing 2-2 with rivals Arsenal at White Hart Lane.

"We have to be immune to that", he said of the expected hostile atmosphere of Wednesday.

"To see it go in brought out a lot of emotion". One way Arsenal could stop him influencing the game would be to keep the space between the defence and the midfield as small as possible.

Henry, the club's record goalscorer, declared in his column in the Sun newspaper that he had "never heard the Arsenal supporters as angry as they were at the Emirates on Wednesday night", following Arsenal's 2-1 loss to Swansea City. Fans can watch a live stream of the 183rd, which some experts on English football say is the most important game ever played between the two venerable clubs, who first faced each other in 1887.

He will love it even more if his side, without injured goalkeeper Petr Cech for up to a month and with defender Laurent Koscielny also ruled out, can get just their fourth win in 12 games to reignite their title tilt.

After three defeats in eight days against Barcelona, Manchester United and Swansea, Arsene Wenger's squad desperately needed a positive result at White Hart Lane to help stop the rot. Indeed, their problems in 2014-15 originated at the start of the season when they started very slowly and played catch-up before an impressive run in the final stretch.

Yet for years Arsenal were defined by an ability to beat Tottenham and finish ahead of them, regardless of whatever else was happening.

"We've had two defeats, so we're happy to come away with a point in the end, considering the circumstances". Do you think the Gunners can still win the league this season?

"Medically they have questioned his knee is not true completely and so they are still a bit anxious, but he looks ideal".

Dolphins hedge their bets, place transition tag on Olivier Vernon
And can you imagine what the Raiders pass rush would look like with all three? Free agency is also a possibility. So essentially, the Dolphins are making a $3-million bet that they will be able to keep Vernon for next season.
