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.

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.
