Can Arsenal do it?
Arteta's side has been in good form of late with a 4 -2 win over Chelsea and a 3- 1 win over Manchester United and that has given them the go push that they can make that Champions league position.
Arsenal has won 6 out of their last 10 league games home and away combined which is a welcome sign of good form.
Arsenal still has a lot of work to defencive wise as they have kept just 2 clean sheets in their last 10 games which came in the games against Leicester and Aston Villa.
Is the top 4 realistic for Tottenham?
Tottenham has struggled with inconsistency for the most part of the season losing points in games in which they could have easily taken maximum points.
With their latest result against Europe's most in-form team Liverpool, Tottenham will go into the game against Arsenal with maximum push factor knowing they can take all point from arsenal.
Conte will be banking on on his in-form South Korean striker with 20 Premier league goals to punish Arsenal and get the job done tonight.
With both team proven to be very good scoring team, be sure to expect goal in this encounter, So my prediction for the game is GG& Over 2.5
