Kai Havertz and William Saliba have said the Arsenal players will be Tottenham fans for the day, but will the Spurs supporters actually be backing Manchester City on Tuesday?
Tottenham vs Man City - follow live updates
Arsenal returned to the top of the league with a 1-0 win at Manchester United on Sunday to ensure the Premier League title race will go down to the final day. But Man City, currently a point behind Arsenal, will reclaim top spot if they win their game in hand at Spurs on Tuesday, live on Sky Sports.
It means Arsenal must now hope their north London rivals do them a favour by getting a result at home to Man City to put them on course for a first Premier League title in two decades.

"It will get to a stage where Tottenham fans will cheer if Man City score," Paul Merson said on Super Sunday on Sky Sports. "The one thing they don't want is Arsenal to win the league."
Manchester City have never won a Premier League game at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, raising Arsenal's hopes that Spurs can help them, but the former Gunner isn't holding out much hope of Spurs getting a positive result.
"If they win [against City], I'll have a Tottenham tattoo!," he added. "It'll be that little cockerel on the ball [Spurs' badge]. I will have it, I tell you, I will have it!"

Following Aston Villa's 3-3 home draw against Liverpool on Monday, fifth-placed Spurs still have hope of Champions League qualification.
Ange Postecoglou's must win both of their remaining games against City and Sheffield United away, and hope Villa lose at Crystal Palace on the final day to qualify for next season's Champions League.
The Arsenal scenario, therefore, has left Spurs fans in an unenviable position.
With a win over Pep Guardiola's side significantly boosting Arsenal's title hopes, some fans have suggested they'd rather lose and even scupper their own top-four hopes.
