I've supported Spurs since 2005 and from what I can remember there has only been two midweek evening games versus Arsenal, 4-4 at the emirates and the 2-1 Danny Rose volley. Am I missing a game or two here?
Pretty sure there was also a mid week 3-3 at the Lane

Ah yes you are right! At least we are unbeaten!

If you're just counting league then as stated the 3-3 at WHL, but there have been league cup games aplenty. The semis in 2008, the year we won at the Emirates and I think they beat us at WHL after extra time (both sides heavily rotated if I remember correctly?).

Yep, meant the league!
After their win against Leeds, they have the luxury of being able to lose to us.
If Arteta has any sense he will set Arsenal up in a low block and ask us to break break down and then hit us on the counter.
I fear we need a miracle to get top 4 now. (Not that I was expecting anything from Leeds)

I think Arsenal showed today that they are very fragile. Played against 10 men Leeds at home for 70 minute and nearly let a 2 goal lead slip. They have us, Newcastle away and then Everton at home (who are fighting for their lives). I just hope Everton still need something on that last day. If we beat them, we only need to them to drop points in one of their tough last two games. But we have to beat them first!

Yeah I'm not as down as some people. Its not over yet. Still fancy a twist to come yet.
We obviously have to win Thursday though which, given what we've seen this weekend, I think we will.

Hope Son is okay, I'm worried he got hurt.
If our current first XI are all fit to play. I think we'll win. Though well aware that things could go wrong, even if we outplay them.

We also have to beat Burnley who are fighting for their lives. It would be typical of us to beat Arsenal and then drop points against Burnley to let them off the hook.
Burnley is a bit of a nightmare match up for us. In fact any team that is going to deny us space in behind is a problem. Fingers crossed and all that.

Thing is, Burnley will want to go for the win, sitting in a low block and hoping to nick a point isn't going to help them avoid relegation.
With a few games left they will need 3 points. Plus I think they are more attacking now Dyche has gone, pretty sure they are a bit of a different side now.
Interesting to see how Arsenal approach it. Obviously a win is what they'll want but they'd quite happily take a draw now if offered it. For us, it's simply win or bust.
They've won 4 on the trot but in those games always felt the oppo always had chances and were in the game. Even today against a 10 man Leeds, didn't think Arsenal were as comfortable in that second half as you'd expect them to be.
Key for me is staying defensively sound against them and not gifting them anything. Don't want to give them anything which gets their tails up. They'll give you chances imo and if we can grab an early goal, could see us really pushing on.
