Tottenham has failed to win in the last 8 PL matches. The last time was in 2007

Ahead of the North London Derby, the White Roses made 4 draws, 4 defeats in their last 8 matches. The last time they are winless in 8 matches could date back to August 2007. 

Igor Tudor the Croatian is facing a daunting proposition ahead, as their last rival in February would be the title contender Arsenal. 

Since Manchester City beats Newcastle United with 2-1, the Blue Moon's gap to the Gunners remains only two points. Arsenal needs to take down this pivotal match to strengthen their leading position on the table ahead of the busy March schedule. Round 31's final minute goal concession is an unforgivable mistake that Arteta and his players cannot allow to commit for the second time, and this Sunday would be their best opportunity to redempt their previous failure. Except Havertz and Merino, the squad is in full health, therefore Arteta could unleash the full potential of the squad to enhance their dominance on attack and set piece.

Totteham, on the other hand, is not in a very appropriate position. As Igor Tudor's debut for the team, he only has 9 days to get familiar with the staff, players, formations, and tactics. The team is winless in last 8 Premier League matches, and a timely recuperation from this downturn is necessary. However, the long injur list and Christian Romero's red card suspension from this match could be the potential turning point. Tudor needs a very specific plan to make up Tottenham's current defense issues, as well as levarage the team's focus on the second half, especially the stoppage time, from conceding more last-minute goals.
