Tottenham could help hand the Premier League title to Arsenal and one of their players previously admitted the Gunners are his favourite team.
Mikel Arteta‘s men remain in the hunt for their first title in 20 years with the thrilling race set to head into the final day of the season.
However, defending champions Manchester CIty remain the favourites ahead of their clash with Ange Postecoglou’s side on Tuesday.
A win for Tottenham or even a draw will see Arsenal take control of their own destiny ahead of Sunday’s finale.
It’s a dilemma which has seen some Spurs’ supporters want their own team to lose, even though a victory would see them remain in the hunt for Champions League qualification.

Dejan Kulusevski is likely to start again for Tottenham but he previously admitted to supporting the Gunners.
‘My favourite team is Arsenal because I like everything about the club, the city, the players and the way they play football,’ the Swedish winger said while on loan to Parma during the 2019-20 season.
He also teased his fondness for the Gunners after joining Tottenham, initially on loan, in 2022.
The 24-year-old said: ‘There’s one team I’ve always wanted to play for, and I think I will play there one day, but I don’t want to say what team it is because it’s sensitive stuff.’
Kulusevski was this week adamant Tottenham will play for themselves against City and are not thinking about doing their north London rivals a favour.
‘No. When you play football, you want to win [for yourself], and that’s the only thing we think about,’ he said via the Evening Standard when asked whether he and his team-mates have thought about the ramifications.

Kulusevski added: ‘I honestly don’t watch the schedule.
‘I just want to win. I know it’s an amazing game now on Tuesday against City, and my focus is on that now. If we win, then anything can happen.
‘It’s going to be an amazing game because we always have good games against City. It’s a fantastic opportunity for us to play against the best. I think we will absolutely be ready.’
