Tottenham Hotspur travel to take on Arsenal in the Premier League this weekend.

Tottenham Hotspur legend Graham Roberts has taken to Twitter to rally supporters together ahead of Sunday’s North London derby against Arsenal.

Spurs lost 1-0 to Bayer Leverkusen at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday evening, with Kevin Kampl’s goal handing the Bundesliga side all three points in the Champions League group stage clash.

That result means that Tottenham have gone six games without a win in all competitions, and have scored just three goals in that run as all the momentum from last month’s win over Manchester City has completely evaporated.

Tottenham do remain unbeaten in the Premier League this season, but are struggling for form and goals, with striker Harry Kane’s absence really costing Spurs in their pursuit of the Premier League title.

Spurs are downbeat right now, and they head into one of the biggest games of the season at the worst possible time, as they make the short trip to face North London rivals Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners have dropped just two points in their last eight Premier League games, and sit joint-top of the table alongside Manchester City and Liverpool, meaning that Tottenham face a tough challenge on Sunday afternoon.

Ahead of Sunday’s game, Tottenham legend Graham Roberts has taken to Twitter to attempt to rally fans together after such a disappointing run of results.

Roberts suggested that fans should look at the bigger picture, as whilst it’s been a tough run of form, it’s been a superb two years under manager Mauricio Pochettino, and fans should keep the faith and get behind the players for Sunday’s huge game.
