Spurs certainly have ambitions to participate in the group stage of the Champions League, but taking into account last season, they even won a place in the Europa League with an interference). In the Premier League, Tottenham now have 8 points after 5 rounds (2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat – total 15:8). But what is curious is that Spurs took both victories away, while at Hotspur in the Premier League 2020/21 they are still content with draws. And there were a lot of complaints about Tottenham after the last draw with West Ham. Having won the 1st half with a score of 3:0, Spurs managed to share the points (3:3). If something similar happens on Thursday, then there are big doubts that Mourinho will continue to work at Tottenham.
Due to unsuccessful performances in the Premier League, Arsenal is forced to be content with the matches of the Europa League. Mikel Arteta’s team lost to Manchester City in the Premier League (0:1) in the last match with a minimum score and before that achieved a labor victory over Sheffield United (2:1). In the English Championship, after five rounds played, the Gunners settled on the fifth line in the standings, gaining nine points. The team’s top scorer, Alexandre Lacazette, has scored three goals in four games. Recall that the Londoners have won the FA Super Cup over Liverpool in a penalty shootout.
