Jose Mourinho makes "rivalry" claim over Arsenal ahead of north London derby

Tottenham are set to face Arsenal on Sunday, as the Premier League action resumes. And ahead of the match, Jose Mourinho has admitted that his side are looking to catch the teams who are above them in the Premier League table rather than looking down. When asked if finishing above the Gunners for a fifth straight season would signal  that the balance of power in North London had shifted towards his team, Spurs boss told Football.London: “I want to be respectful, I don’t want to go in that direction. “I’m very proud to be at Tottenham, I have the feeling every day that I work at a big club, but in spite of the rivalry between us and Arsenal I want to be respectful. “Arsenal is a big club with a big history, a little bit like us they’re trying to build a better future. I have total respect for them. “I look up, I don’t look down. If Arsenal were seven points ahead of us, I would look to them, but because we have seven points more than them, I don’t look down. “At the same time though, we look always to the next match and if instead of Arsenal it was Villa or Newcastle, the next matches we’re going to play, exactly the same feeling.” Source- Spurs-Web Join us on Telegram!/ Follow us on Twitter!
