Antonio Conte has posted on Instagram ‘until the end’ ahead of Tottenham’s all-important north London derby against Arsenal on Thursday night.
The Spurs boss posted the message with a video of him greeting a number of his own players during training.
Tottenham fans will love the message from Conte because this forthcoming game isn’t going to be easy, by any stretch, for Arsenal.
It doesn’t get much bigger than this in north London, as Tottenham and Arsenal are set to lock horns in what will be a game for the ages.
Champions League football is on the line and the ball is well and truly in Arsenal’s court.
Three points for Mikel Arteta’s side and they will be competing with the elite next season and it will be Europa League football for Conte.
But, if Spurs can secure the three points, they will close the gap on their neighbours to one point heading into the final few matches of the Premier League season.
Either way, for the losing manager, the dugout is going to feel like a pretty lonely place if they leave the Tottenham stadium empty-handed.
It seems a long time ago now, but Arsenal did win the reverse fixture, although, that was when Nuno Espirito Santo was in charge.
Now there is more spice and bite to this Spurs team, especially up front, as it wouldn’t be a surprise if this Champions League-chasing duo produce goals galore on Thursday.
Plus, it’s the first north London derby to be played at Tottenham’s new stadium where a packed-out crowd will be present.
