ARSENAL FAIL TO REGAIN TOP-FOUR FROM TOTTENHAM

Arsenal have had to settle for fifth place on the Premier League table for a few days at least after their failure to regain fourth spot from North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the race to qualify for Champions League football next season.

The Gunners began last weekend in fourth position and with a three-point cushion over Tottenham Hotspur who were in fifth position. At that point, Arsenal had played a game less than Spurs who were the first team to play last weekend. Tottenham Hotspur came from behind to beat Newcastle United 5-1 at home on Sunday to move above Arsenal into fourth spot ahead of their tricky trip to face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday night in a London Derby clash.

CONTE TO REMAIN AT TOTTENHAM DESPITE PUBLIC RANTS

Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte will continue his job at the club even though his future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is already looking uncertain less than five months since taking over. Following an embarrassing 1-0 loss against Burnley in the Premier League, Conte, in his post-match reaction, made a couple of comments that suggested that he was already getting dissatisfied with life at the club already.

Since Wednesday night, several news outlets started spreading several reports about an unrest in the Tottenham dressing room, with some of them suggesting that Conte could already be living in his last says as Spurs manager even though he joined the London club only a few months ago. However, according to talkSPORT, Conte’s comments were not supposed to send out a message that he is fed up at the club and wants to leave, but rather, a public way of sending a clear and direct message to the players so they can improve their game.

Tottenham Hotspur turned to Conte last month after NunoEspirito Santo was sacked as their manager earlier in the season. The Daniel Levy-led Spurs board pulled the plug on Nuno after a poor run in the league. The Portuguese tactician had been appointed as the Tottenham Hotspur manager in the summer after they were snubbed by a lot of their options including Conte. Spurs and Conte were able to reach an agreement for the latter to become the new manager last month on an 18-month deal until the end of next season.

Kane has enjoyed contrasting form for club and country in recent weeks on the back of his failed move to Premier League champions Manchester City in the summer. The Spurs striker publicly revealed his intention to leave the North London club for the Etihad Stadium due to a gentleman’s agreement with chairman Daniel Levy only for the move to be blocked by Levy and his board members who asked for over £150m for Manchester City to secure his transfer.
