Ahead of the riveting North London Derby involving Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, Ange Postecoglou has promised to “scare the life out of” his opposition on Sunday, September 24, 2023.
Spurs boss, Postecoglou, has guided his side to an unbeaten start to the 2023/24 Premier League season after 5 matches, with 4 wins and 1 draw.
Ange Postecoglou has said that he wouldn’t change the way his side have patterned their play this season, despite going to a ground where Tottenham Hotspur haven’t recorded a league victory since 2010.
Despite the departure of Harry Kane, the Lilywhites have been menacing so far this season, putting proper attacking football on display.
However, the North London derby promises to provide another twist, as this fixture is definitely their biggest test this season.
They sit 2nd on the Premier League table, and the coming games intend to provide an insight for enthusiasts into Spurs renaissance this season.
Many might start to draw conclusions from the coming games, as they might feel that Tottenham Hotspur are truly back to winning ways or it might have just been a flash in the pan.

Speaking ahead of the game, Ange Postecoglou said: “In terms of the way we play, we’re not changing, mate. We’ll go out and scare the life out of them.”
The 58-year-old shared his awareness of the North London rivalry, and he understands what an encounter of such magnitude means to the fans.
He said: “I’m well aware of obviously the (north London) rivalry and you take that into account because it means so much to supporters.
“Being Celtic manager, there really was only one result the supporters were interested in.”
Their title credentials will also be tested next Saturday, September 30, 2023, when they welcome Liverpool to their £1billion ground.
Players like Son Heung-Min, Richarlison, and summer signing James Maddison have powered the side in attack, alongside the other complementary cast who have also contributed their quota this season.
Meanwhile, arch-rivals Arsenal have also had an outstanding start to the season, as they aim to win the Premier League title this season.
They finished as runner-up last term, despite being at the summit of the table for most parts of the 2022/23 season.
Mikel Arteta’s side sit 4th on the Premier League table with 13 points, and they have also had an unbeaten start to the campaign, with 4 wins and 1 draw.
Arsenal defeated Tottenham Hotspur in both legs last season, with a 3-1 victory at the Emirates Stadium and a 0-2 win at Spurs’ home ground.
The encounter promises to provide a lot of suspense, and given the form of the two teams going into the encounter, it is expected to be a blockbuster fixture.
