Tottenham Hotspur are set to take on Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
Tottenham are set to take on Arsenal on Sunday at the Emirates Stadium, with the pressure on Mauricio Pochettino’s side to pick up the three points.
When Tottenham visited their local rival’s last season, Arsenal beat them with a hugely passionate performance.
The Gunners put a great deal into beating Spurs, with their efforts clearly increased in the derby game.
But the £22 million signing (Guardian) back in 2015 has played down how much winning against Arsenal means to Tottenham, when compared to any other game.
He said: “I think we finished ahead in the last three years. But we don’t actually care. We focus on ourselves.
“We just want to finish better and better. We don’t care about any other teams. We just want to finish as high as possible. Of course, Arsenal is a big derby for us. But it’s another game. We are just looking forward to winning these games.”
Some Spurs fans have praised Son’s attitude, but others are fearful that they could get outfought by Arsenal again now.
Son is likely to start for Tottenham, despite a poor performance in a 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United last week.
The South Korean missed Tottenham’s first two matches this season with suspension, and he will need to be much sharper if Spurs are to get a result at the weekend.
