Tottenham should be feeling this now about Arsenal showdown, claims Jermaine Jenas
JERMAINE JENAS reckons Tottenham have a good chance to make amends against Arsenal.
Mauricio Pochettino - Spotlight on
Spurs saw their hopes of qualifying for the last-16 stage of the Champions League take a serious blow earlier this evening when they lost 1-0 at Wembley to Bayer Leverkusen.
A Kevin Kampl strike in the 65th minute was the difference between the two sides, but it leaves the north London outfit with work to do to progress from Group E.
The result saw Mauricio Pochettino's winless streak stretch to six games in all competitions.

And former Spurs midfielder-turned-pundit Jenas thinks the north London derby against Arsenal on Sunday (midday) can't come soon enough for his old club.
"This will be one of those nights where the team will have a look at each other, but they need to stay strong and stand together," Jenas said.

It's a great opportunity to put the wrongs right
"Some people might say this North London derby has come at the wrong time for Spurs, but it's a great opportunity to put the wrongs right."
Spurs are hoping to have Harry Kane, who wasn't named in the match day Champions League squad, fit for the crunch clash against the Gunners.
Pochettino's side currently sit fifth in the Premier League table, three points off pace-setters Manchester City.
