‘I don’t think Spurs fans should want them to win’

Jamie Carragher has backed Tottenham fans who would prefer defeat to Man City tonight to end Arsenal’s Premier League hopes.

City will return to the top before the final day with a win at Tottenham Stadium, however failure to win will leave Arsenal favorites to end their 20-year title wait.

Speaking on Sky Sports, pundit Jamie Carragher said: “I can’t wait for kick-off to see what the atmosphere is like. It is not unique. This (situation) has happened before at different times.

“I don’t think a Spurs fan should want the team to win tonight. I grew up in a city with the same rivalry (Liverpool v Everton). If the shoe was on the other foot I think Arsenal fans would be exactly the same, so I have absolutely no problem with any Tottenham fan not wanting to win this game. “

Carragher said it was ‘normal and right’ for fans to feel so strongly, although welcoming players and manager Ange Postecoglou will feel differently.

“Arsenal have won the league twice at White Hart Lane in 1971 and 2004. If Tottenham win again tonight Arsenal will have won the league again at Tottenham – they have won it, that’s what has happened.”
