The race to secure a Europa League position is not the one Tottenham or Arsenal fans would have been happy running heading into the season, but that is where things stand as the season heads towards a wrap.
Both coaches in the North London Derby were mid-season rescue hires who find themselves on opposite ends in terms of momentum and staying power. Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal head into Sunday’s meeting unbeaten in its last five while José Mourinho’s Spurs side has been getting by, but a far cry from thriving in its restart efforts.
Things are also cooking in the Italian Europa League race and Sunday’s Napoli vs AC Milan is a six-pointer. Milan comes in hot after beating Juventus and Lazio in its last two games, Napoli snapped a two-game losing skid with a 2-1 win over relegation candidate Genoa on Wednesday.
After learning it will square off with Atalanta in the Champions League quarterfinal stage in the near future, French giant PSG looks to warm up after being out of action since the Ligue 1 season was voided in April, starting with a televised friendly against second-division Le Harve on Sunday.
