Arsenal on track to celebrate earliest St Totteringham's Day

Arsenal are on the verge of making north London history this weekend as they chase the earliest St Totteringham's Day on record. The day marks when it becomes mathematically impossible for Tottenham to finish above Arsenal in the Premier League. If Tottenham fail to win at Fulham on Sunday, the celebration can begin; alternatively, Arsenal can guarantee finishing above Spurs for a fourth successive season by beating Chelsea at the Emirates that evening.

A victory on Sunday would eclipse the current benchmark set on March 9, 2008, during Arsene Wenger's era. The phrase, which emerged on the website 'Arseweb' in the early 2000s, could land as early as March 1, underlining the gulf that has opened between the clubs over the last 18 months.

Last weekend's 4-1 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres each scoring twice, illustrated the contrast in form.
