Arsenal Tottenham Fan Podcast Episode 85 - The North London Derby Preview

Travel can keep us away.  Sickness can keep us away.  Hell, bad results can keep us away.  But when it's North London Derby time, nothing can keep us from our podcasting duties!  That's right, our intrepid duo are here to preview Sunday's all important North London Derby.
  
The podcasts starts where all podcasts should start with a laugh at our neighbors to the West, then we discuss Arsenal's what we learned from Arsenal's many fixtures since Tottenham's last match, the change in the way Premier League games have been refereed over the last couple of months, and we laugh at Chelsea again.  

Then the preview starts.  What players may be out with injury for Tottenham?  Who may replace them?  What does that mean for the tactics each manager may employ?   

After the injury discussion, we talk about some key matchups and how they might affect the game.  Then we look at the 15 day gap from Tottenham's last fixture and how that may affect the tactics, flow of the game, and, ultimately, the result.   

Rick gives his overview of Tottenham's defense, midfield, and forward units and how each may influence the game.  Cal reviews each line of Arsenal's side and tries to guess what starting lineup Arteta may use.  He has to choose from a more defensive set up and one geared for full on attack.  Listen in to see which players are in each and which he thinks the manager will pick.

There is a discussion of how important this game is for each team, the stakes that are riding on it, and how that might inform as to how the game plays out.  Rest assured, that our podcasters put it all on the line with their predictions of the score and result.  Tune in to hear what they think!

Thank you for listening!
