Arsenal’s forward Kai Havertz has said he will be the biggest Tottenham Hotspur fan for the upcoming Manchester City game. The Gunners registered a 1-0 win against Manchester United to move to the top of the points table after Leandro Trossard scored in the 20th minute of the game.
However, Mikel Arteta’s team only has a one-point lead and Manchester City are hot on their heels at second place. Furthermore, Pep Guardiola’s team has one more game at hand.
That one more game is against Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal will need a big favor from their north London rivals if they are to win the Premier League title for the first time since 2004.
“I am going to be the biggest fan of Tottenham ever,” Havertz told Sky Sports. “Let’s hope for the best.”
Arsenal’s final game is against Everton at Emirates Stadium on Sunday and Arteta added: “My experience in this league is that any team can beat any team. I lived it various scenarios in the last day when a lot of teams have necessities. The margin of respect that everybody puts in the games is phenomenal.
“We know we need a result [for Spurs against City]. We need to do our own thing still in the last game. But today, we wanted to open that box of dreams to live the last day of the season in front of our people with the opportunity to win the Premier League.
“That’s something we’re going to live together and I’m so pleased we’re going to do it with these players and staff.”
Records were against Arsenal as they had won a solitary contest in their previous 16 visits to Old Trafford but they got the much-needed three points.
“Today we had to play in a really special place that our history was not very optimistic about what could happen but we found a way to win it,” Arteta said. “That says a lot about how much the team wants it.”
This was the 27th win for Arsenal in the ongoing season, the third most in the club’s history after 1970-71 (29 wins) and 1930-31 (28).
“That’s not progress, that’s history,” a proud Arteta said. “That’s very difficult to do, especially in the league where we are playing now. Big compliment to all the players and staff for what they’ve done.”
