And go here for Tottenham v Arsenal

You can also listen to today's 5 Live Premier League commentaries on most smart speakers. Just say "ask BBC Sounds to play Sunderland v Fulham" or "ask BBC Sounds to play Spurs v Arsenal", for instance.

From what I've read about new Tottenham manager Igor Tudor, he is a guy who goes in at clubs and, in the short term, gets a turn out of his team.

Spurs really need that to happen now, because they desperately need a win or two to get out of reach of relegation.

So, this game is big for them for that reason, and also because they can put another dent in Arsenal's title hopes too.

Spurs and their fans have not had a lot to shout about this season, but if they can get something here then this could be a defining moment in their campaign, and affect Arsenal as well. They would love that.

It was an incredible wobble by Mikel Arteta's team against Wolves, drawing 2-2 after being 2-0 up, and I certainly didn't see it coming.

Maybe it is getting to be 'squeaky bum time' for them, but it didn't affect them when they went away to Leeds a couple of weeks ago and won convincingly.

You can imagine how Spurs will be champing at the bit, and I am expecting them to make a fast start and have a real go at them - but Arsenal have to deal with that, and find a way of bouncing back.

I think the Gunners can do that, and their quality will make the difference in the end. I worry about Spurs in forward areas and it will be interesting to see how Tudor lines them up in defence too.

Ultimately, if Arsenal turn up and play how we know they can, then they will win - and I am expecting them to make a real statement.

Sutton's prediction: 0-3

New Tottenham Hotspur head coach Igor Tudor will be thrust straight into the firing line when he takes charge of his first game on Sunday (16:30 GMT), with bitter rivals and Premier League leaders Arsenal the visitors.

Spurs decided to part ways with Thomas Frank after a loss to Newcastle United at home left the team in relegation trouble. They go into this weekend five points clear of the drop and without a win in their last eight Premier League games.

As for Arsenal, they started the weekend just five points clear at the top after a surprise draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Wednesday. They have played a game more than their nearest rivals Manchester City too.

Tudor looks to avoid the trapdoor

Depending on your frame of mind, a home fixture against Arsenal could be the best or worst possible start for Tudor.

On the one hand, the match represents something of a free hit given the respective position of the two teams and a positive result could spark something in what has been a dejected fanbase. But a bad defeat and a jubilant away end would be far from ideal.

Spurs' recent record in this fixture does not make for great reading. They have lost their last four against Arsenal and their last three games on home soil against their rivals; that's as many as they suffered in the previous 23 north London derbies they hosted.

Tudor has tended to get off to a good start when he's in a new role. He has won his first match in charge as a manager with his last five clubs, although he surely won't have had a tougher opening assignment than this in his coaching career.

His biggest challenge at Tottenham will undoubtedly be bringing some creativity to an injury-ravaged squad. Spurs have actually outperformed their xG by more than any team in the top flight this season, with only Burnley, Sunderland and Wolves unable to better their xG for the season of 27.40.

It means, in theory at least, that if it wasn't for some clinical finishing that things could potentially look even worse for Spurs.

Arsenal's north London derby trip to Tottenham Hotspur will be played out against a backdrop of searching questions about their nerve - "bottle", as it is often called - character and even public mockery from their rivals.

The most basic question is this. Are Mikel Arteta's side choking amid Arsenal's greatest opportunity to win the Premier League for the first time since Arsene Wenger's "Invincibles" of 2003-04?

The landscape around this trip to hostile territory has shifted so dramatically in the last fortnight that it has moved from what resembled a walk in the park to a test of every quality required to win the title.

Arsenal will go to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - where Spurs have won only two of 13 league games this term - with the toxicity caused by former head coach Thomas Frank's presence potentially removed by his sacking and replacement by Igor Tudor.

Tudor's appointment is essentially designed to avoid relegation.

His chequered managerial career has taken in Hajduk Split, Galatasaray, Udinese, Marseille, Lazio and Juventus.

For all that, Tudor has specialised in fast starts in charge of clubs, a powerful personality whose arrival delivers an extra ingredient to what was already going to be a super-charged atmosphere.

It all adds up to a severe examination of Arsenal just as they look to be creaking under the pressure of chasing that elusive Premier League crown.

First, there must be context.

Arsenal remain top of the table. They finished top of the Champions League standings with eight wins from eight games. They face Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final and have an eminently winnable FA Cup fifth round tie at League One side Mansfield Town.

So what is eating Arsenal?

Arsenal's catastrophic concession of a 2-0 lead at relegation certainties Wolves, as well as the way in which that advantage was lost, was an example of tension that has gripped the Gunners on and off the pitch in a run of only two wins from seven Premier League games.

As if that collapse at Molineux, concluded amid angry scenes involving players from both sides, was not enough, Wolves' social media accounts rubbed salt in Arsenal's wounds by poking fun in a TikTok post captioned "Game Management".

In a post watched by more than two million, it was aimed at Arsenal's perceived time-wasting at corners and what was clearly regarded as an over-reaction to injuries.

There was also an image of Gabriel Martinelli taunting Wolves' fans with a "2-1" gesture, only to look daft when Arsenal conceded that late leveller.

Wolves' time-wasting jibe was followed by an Opta statistic that Arsenal have taken a league-high total of 117 minutes to restart games from corners this season. They also have the longest average delay of restart from corners at 44 seconds.

Low blows from Wolves, but blows that may have landed on already frayed nerves.

The chaotic manner of Wolves' 94th-minute equaliser from Tom Edozie - eventually going in off Riccardo Calafiori - summed up Arsenal's panic-stricken finale as goalkeeper David Raya collided haplessly with defender Gabriel to cause confusion.

What was an opportunity to apply psychological pressure by extending their lead to seven points was squandered, leaving Arsenal only five clear of Manchester City having played one game more.

It was Arsenal's recent problems in microcosm.

Raya and the Gunners' defence have slipped from the high standards that gave them a nine-point advantage over City and Aston Villa on 7 February, albeit that Pep Guardiola's side had a game in hand.

Arsenal's fate still remains in their own hands. The problem is that the same applies to City, with the sides scheduled to meet at Etihad Stadium on 18 April.

And this is where the nerves and the past play into the current narrative that Arsenal are wobbling, having finished second in the last three campaigns, twice to City and last season to Liverpool.

In this chase, Manchester City have form for successfully hunting down league leaders.

Arsenal's form at this stage of the season is unflattering when compared to City's. In each of the last four campaigns, City have amassed more points than Arsenal in the final 12 games.

The biggest differential was 12 points in 2021-22, the narrowest one point in 2023-24, when a 2-0 loss at home to Aston Villa on 14 April effectively cost Arsenal the title.

And several factors are now coming into play as Arsenal need to prove they can cope with the pressure of ending that barren title run, with City breathing down their necks.

Since their 4-1 win against Aston Villa on 30 December, the ring of steel Arsenal assembled in defence has lost its strength. They have subsequently conceded one league goal per game as opposed to 0.61 before.

Arsenal have also appeared to drop into a more risk-averse, negative approach when in front and looking to have games under control.

Leads have been lost against Manchester United, Brentford and - most damagingly - Wolves in recent weeks.

Is the fear of losing, or drawing, turning up the pressure valve on players who will know this season represents their best chance of winning the title to such an extent they are now struggling to close out victories?

It is a highly pressurised environment. This season there are no excuses. It may just be now or never.

Arteta invariably cuts an agitated figure on the sidelines. He recently urged Arsenal's fans to "jump on the fun boat", but does not look as if he is having fun at the moment, even though he is leading a team top of the table and insists "the present is beautiful".

He says he will be "keeping calm, keeping my eyes open, my ears open, and understanding what the players need to give their best".

Arteta added: "We have to live the present. What we did in the past is great, but we have to live the present, and the present is beautiful.

"We are exactly where we want to be in every competition. We need to earn it, like we've done in the last seven or eight months."

Getting to this position, and it is a healthy one, is another factor in the equation. Are the physical demands starting to take their toll on players?

Martin Zubimendi, outstanding since his summer move from Real Sociedad, is one such example.

He has seen more Premier League action than any other Arsenal outfield player, figuring in all 27 games with 26 starts, playing 2,270 minutes in his first season in the English top flight.

Eberechi Eze has almost been a bystander in comparison, despite the fanfare that greeted his £60m arrival from Crystal Palace in August, stolen away from Spurs at the 11th hour.

Since scoring a hat-trick in the 4-1 win against Spurs in November, Eze has featured in all 15 of Arsenal's league games but has made only four starts and played 360 minutes.

The wider questions, however, surround Arsenal's temperament to withstand the pressure that is suddenly closing in on them, an ominous reminder of previous failings.

Arsenal are still in a superb position in every competition – positions they would have instantly signed up for in August. And their cause could be helped the return of key duo Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz.

If the Gunners win at Spurs, doubts will be eased, but one thing is beyond question.

This north London derby is now a completely different proposition from a fortnight ago.

Some football fans don't think Tottenham Hotspur are very good - including, strangely, one politician from Sweden.

Mikael Damberg is a Swedish member of parliament, who used to be in the government but is now a part of the opposition.

He's got lots of people talking by describing Sweden as being "Spursy" in a debate.

For the politician, this means "when you have opportunities but get no results", saying "Sweden can't perform like Tottenham."

But we want to know what you think it means to be 'Spursy'. Is it a bad thing, or is the nickname unfair?

Let us know in the comments below.

Mr Damberg's made the comparison in Sweden's parliament as part of criticising the government.

He said that even though Spurs have lots of talent, fans, and money, "they have squandered their opportunities".

The politician said that "the government risks making Sweden 'Spursy'" by not making the most of what they have.

But is it fair to describe Tottenham Hotspur in this way?

Last year, Spurs won the Europa League, but they haven't been on a good run of form recently.

Their manager Thomas Frank was sacked by the club after just eight months, and at sixteenth place in the Premier League, they risk ending up in the relegation zone.

Let us know your thoughts in the comments - what does being 'Spursy' mean to you?

New Tottenham head coach Igor Tudor is "100%" convinced they will avoid relegation from the Premier League.

Spurs are 16th in the table, only five points above third-bottom West Ham with 12 league games left.

Former manager Thomas Frank was sacked on 11 February after eight months in charge, with ex-Marseille, Lazio and Juventus boss Tudor coming in to replace him.

Speaking on Friday in his first news conference, Tudor, who was a defender with Juventus and a Croatia international during his playing career, said he was looking to make an immediate impact.

"I'm not here to enjoy it, I'm here to work," said the 47-year-old. "Enjoy is the first moment, and then there's work to do. It's a fantastic club. I am very focused to do the right things.

"It is not about systems. It is important to become a team, a group, who will look after each other. For me this is basic.

"After that the quality can come out and, for me, this is a team with quality, with legs that can run. There is potential."

Despite coming fourth in the league phase of the Champions League to jump straight into the last 16, Tottenham have struggled in the Premier League.

Since November, they have only won two of 17 league matches, with six draws and nine defeats. Their last league victory was a 1-0 success at Crystal Palace on 28 December and they have collected only four out of a possible 24 points in 2026.

Spurs, who finished 17th last season, have been in the top flight of English football in every campaign since one year in the old Second Division in 1977-78.

Asked how confident he was Tottenham would still be in the Premier League next season, Tudor replied "100%".

His first game is at home on Sunday against bitter rivals and current leaders Arsenal, with Spurs facing an injury crisis.

"It's a very rare situation," added Tudor. "We have 10 injuries, we trained with 13 players.

"It is an even bigger challenge to succeed from this situation. My first goal is that we become a team in the right meaning of the word, that suffers when it needs to suffer, to fight, to run, to have the right mentality. The start is always about mentality."

No fresh injury concerns, and there is "a real possibility" that Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard are available against Spurs.

On Bukayo Saka's new contract: "He is one of our own, for him to make that decision is a really positive thing."

On the draw at Wolves: "This is one chapter, chapter 27 says we draw against Wolves. What I'm interested in is the next one, how do we write our own destiny? Life moves on. There's nothing we can do about the result, what we can do is focus on the next one."

Arteta was asked about a piece of social media content that Wolves shared which mocked Arsenal's time-wasting before the equaliser: "I read the press conference of Rob [Edwards], the manager, before the game. He thinks that we are the best team in the league by far. I'm much more interested about that than any other thing that I don't know who posts or whatever, especially because I don't read it."

On whether Spurs is the perfect next game: "It is the next game and it's the one we cannot wait to play. We'd love to play today, to get that feeling in our tummies and use it in the right way. We'll have to show up on Sunday."

Arteta was asked about facing a team coached by a new manager, and he said: "It has happened to us seven times already this season. We will have the capacity to adapt but the main focus is on what we have to do to win."

When asked whether he would support his players leaving the pitch if racially abused, Arteta said: "Everyone is aware of the protocols. There is no room for racism in this sport. You have to go case by case to understand what is the best option."

On whether there is cause to be worried about their season: "We have to live in the present. The present is beautiful. We're exactly where we want to be in every competition and what is there to play? We need to earn it like we have done in the last seven or eight months."

On what he, as manager, must do: "To keep calm, to keep my eyes and ears open. To understand what the players need to give the best. That's it."

Tudor said that "probably" none of the current absentees will be back for the North London derby while Dominic Solanke trained today and yesterday after "some problem with his throat".

On how training has been given the long injury list: "In this particular moment with 10 injuries, we trained with 13 players. It is what is is. It's not fantastic or beautiful but 13 we will have and it is quite enough to achieve what we want on Sunday."

Has he enjoyed his first week at Spurs?: "I didn't enjoy because I'm not here to enjoy. I'm here to work. It's the first moment and there's work to do. It's a privilege to be at this club. Enjoy is the first moment, and then there's work to do. It's a fantastic club. I am very focused to do the right things."

What he has said to the squad: "The players want to have clarity about what we want. This was the goal. To send a message about values and how we want to play."

Tudor said Tottenham will "100%" be a Premier League club next season.

More on Spurs' current league position: "This is not important. Fighting for every position, relegation, first position, Uefa places, you achieve the position because of what you do during the week and on Sunday. It is a consequence of this. It brings you nothing if you think about relegation. All these goals are far away. I never give them importance. I never speak about results and what we want to achieve at the end of the season. I don't believe in this. I believe in today's training. This is all I want the players to think about. The position is a consequence of this."

How has he had an instant impact at the clubs he has worked at?: "I don't know. I do my job. Nothing special. I do things that I believe are important. You need to resolve the problems - there are problems even in the biggest clubs."

Tottenham forward Mason Melia is targeting a return to training next week.

The 18‑year‑old joined Spurs in January for an Irish‑record fee of £1.6m, rising to £3.2m in potential add‑ons, from St Patrick's Athletic.

However, the Republic of Ireland Under‑21 striker arrived with a minor back issue that Tottenham's medical staff wanted to address before involving him in competitive action.

The decision to send out fellow striker Dane Scarlett on loan to Scottish Premiership side Hibernian for the remainder of the 2025-26 campaign was made with Melia's arrival in mind.

Melia is expected to begin with Spurs Under‑21s but with chances to potentially train and play for the first‑team if he impresses and proves his fitness.
