IT’S a North London derby with everything to play for.
Arsenal make the short trip to local rivals Tottenham on Sunday – knowing a victory will maintain their title charge.

But Spurs have high aspirations themselves – and are still in the hunt for a Champions League top four finish.
Watching all the action unfold will be the players’ wives and girlfriends.
From a Ukrainian TV presenter who questioned Pep Guardiola’s tactics to a mum who bravely addressed her post-pregnancy stretch marks after having twins, here’s North London’s finest Wags.
Vlada Zinchenko
Stunning Vlada, 27, is a sports TV presenter and journalist who has worked in the Ukraine for their Premier League coverage.
Back in 2020, she earned notoriety after criticising Pep Guardiola’s tactics following a shock Champions League elimination to Lyon.
But since her husband Oleksandr Zinchenko swapped City for Arsenal, she’s not had any complaints about Mikel Arteta.
And she has been seen in the stands wearing the jersey – matched with a red mini skirt.
Kennedy Alexa
Stunner Kennedy lived in Los Angeles before she was swept off her feet by Tottenham’s James Maddison.
They have since had three children together – Leo Cruz in 2021, and twins Rome and Delilah.
The model was then championed on social media by mums for showing off her stretch marks from her last pregnancy, admitting they were tough to embrace but how proud she was to give birth to three healthy children.
Kennedy has since returned to fashion photoshoots and is more in demand than ever.

Milly White
Milly and Ben White have enjoyed a whirlwind romance.
The Gunners right-back got together with the Instagram model in 2022.
White wasted very little time before popping the question on a luxury holiday
The happy couple shared pictures of their engagement, including one of their matching ‘I love you’ wrist tattoos.
Then, in May 2023 the pair said their ‘I do’s’ at a private ceremony at the Old Marylebone Town Hall in London.

Eldina Ahmic
Bosnian beauty Eldina began dating Dejan Kulusevski in 2020, when the Spurs ace played for Serie A giants Parma.
Football must have been a hot topic for the pair, because at the time she played for Swedish side, IF Brommapojkarna.
Back in December, Kulusevksi scored in the 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest and dedicated the goal to his wife and future child.
Stuffing the ball underneath his jersey, he then proceeded to make the heart sign with his hands.

Josephine Hojbjerg
Love is still in the air for Josephine and Pierre Hojbjerg.
The lovebirds are so enamoured with each other, they married twice.
They first walked down the aisle in 2019 at Copenhagen City Hall in a ceremony that was so low-key even Hojbjerg’s mother was not invited.
But in 2021, the occasion in Osterbro was much more lavish. It was attended by family and friends, including Leicester City defender Jannick Vestergaard.
