There’s no shortage of football teams in London, the capital of England (and the United Kingdom). These two clubs are both located in North London and have been through many intense and vicious matches against each other through more than one hundred years of North London derbies. Prepare for a passionate clash!

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
