Tottenham Hotspur are due to take on Unai Emery’s Arsenal side at the weekend, with the pressure on both sides to get a result.

Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has told the London Evening Standard that his side must be ‘ready’ for the North London Derby against Arsenal on Sunday.

Tottenham were in disappointing form against Newcastle United on Sunday, as they slipped to a shock defeat.

Spurs are now under significant pressure, after what has been an underwhelming start to the season.

Tottenham go into their game with Arsenal knowing that big questions will be asked if they fail to win.

And Kane insists that Spurs must be prepared for the battle, as they don’t want to go into a two week break after extending their winless run.

“You never want to go into an international break (which follows the Arsenal match) having lost or drawn,” the Spurs striker, who has two goals to his name this term, said.

“Of course a north London derby is as big as it gets. If we win that it makes the first four games a bit brighter. It won’t be easy, but we have to make sure we are prepared and ready for that one.”

Arsenal have made a brighter start to the season than Tottenham, although they also slipped to defeat against Liverpool in their last match.

Whoever is on the wrong side of the result in the North London Derby will face questions, so the pressure will be on both teams.
