Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger on Dimitar Berbatov:
"In the last few games, when Berbatov plays well, so do Spurs.

"The quality of Tottenham's displays recently can be linked with the gain in form of Berbatov.

"His intelligence, his technique and the quality of his movement have impressed me. He is one of the Premier League's better strikers."

Freddy Adu · 12-21-2007, 08:19 PM

Tottenham manager Juande Ramos says he is ready for the heated atmosphere of a north London derby:
"It's something that happens in all countries - people will throw insults at their opponents.

"As long as it doesn't involve violence then that is something normal.

"I have a slight advantage over everyone else because I don't know what they are saying! It's not going to bother me in the slightest."

Freddy Adu · 12-21-2007, 08:20 PM

The 32nd Premier League north London derby, 142nd in the league and 157th meeting in all competitions of Arsenal and Tottenham, is also the 600th Premier League match for both clubs.

Freddy Adu · 12-21-2007, 08:20 PM

In their previous 599 league games, Arsenal have won 320 and claimed 1,121 points; Tottenham have 216 matches and have bagged 806 points.

Freddy Adu · 12-21-2007, 08:20 PM

This will also be the second of at least four meetings this season, as the pair have been drawn to play each other in the semi-finals of the Carling Cup for the second successive season.

Freddy Adu · 12-21-2007, 08:20 PM

Juande Ramos is getting his first experience of this derby fixture, and is desperately hoping not to follow in the line of David Pleat, Glenn Hoddle, Jacques Santini and Martin Jol, as the four previous Spurs' managers who all failed to beat Arsenal.

Freddy Adu · 12-21-2007, 08:20 PM

The Gunners are undefeated in 19 league and cup games (16 in the Premier League) against Tottenham, since a 2-1 Premier League victory at White Hart Lane on 7 November 1999, when Steffen Iversen and Tim Sherwood were on target.

Freddy Adu · 12-21-2007, 08:20 PM

Arsenal have won three times as many matches as Spurs in the top division this season (12 to four).
