St Totteringham's Day marks the day that Tottenham can no longer mathematically finish above Arsenal. It has happened 25 times in the Premier League era, and it will become 26 very soon; in fact, it could happen today.

Both clubs sit mid-table only separated by goal difference, though their momentum could not be more different. Newcastle arrive buoyed by a commanding 4-1 win over Everton, while Spurs continue to drift after a 2-1 home defeat to Fulham. The win on Merseyside snapped a six-match away drought for Eddie Howe's side, with Malick Thiaw scoring inside one minute and later adding another.
