There seems to be a power shift in North London, particularly where the Premier League is concerned.

Tottenham Hotspur are on course to finish above their enemies Arsenal for the second consecutive season, although their fans are not too jovial about it.

In fact, the Gunners are also likely to miss out on Champions League qualification for the second year in a row.

At the moment, Spurs have a 13-point advantage over Arsenal with four league games left to play, while Wenger’s men have five left in the calendar.

While Tottenham may be dominating the league table in comparison to their neighbours, it is the other half of North London who have a healthier trophy cabinet.

Arsenal have scooped 13 league titles, as well as 13 FA Cups and two League Cups, while Spurs have two top-flight titles, eight FA Cups and four League Cups to their name.

Many have criticised Wenger and his team for not winning the league since the 2003-04 campaign, but the club have taken home four FA Cups since then.

Former Tottenham midfielder Gus Poyet believes that it is unfair to blast Arsenal when their local rivals have not picked up a piece of silverware since their League Cup triumph in 2007-08.

While speaking to talkSPORT, the 50-year-old said:

“We cannot talk about a great season [for Tottenham], we can talk about a good season. It’s a good season if you get in the Champions League – it’s very difficult to get there – but for a great season you need a trophy. I think we can’t always criticise Arsenal for not winning trophies, but then go to the other side of London and say that it’s okay not winning trophies.”
