Arsenal star Kai Havertz says he will become the \u2018biggest Tottenham fan ever\u2019 when Spurs face Manchester City on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Havertz helped Arsenal secure a 1-0 victory at Manchester United on Sunday as the Gunners look to clinch their first Premier League title since 2004.<\/p>\n

Arsenal are desperate for their north London rivals Tottenham to do them a huge favour when they host Pep Guardiola\u2019s men in two days\u2019 time.<\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta\u2019s side are top of the table on 86 points and have just one top-flight fixture left, which comes against Everton at the Emirates next week.<\/p>\n

City, meanwhile, host West Ham on the final day after their trip to Tottenham \u2013 with the reigning champions just one point behind Arsenal at the moment.<\/p>\n

Havertz is praying that City will drop points and told Sky Sports: \u2018I\u2019m going to be the biggest fan of Tottenham ever! We are going to be, so let\u2019s hope for the best.\u2019<\/p>\n

His teammate Leandro Trossard, who scored the winner against United, was asked for his own thoughts on the Spurs v City game and added: \u2018You never know, it could be [enjoyable]. <\/p>\n

\u2018We can only hope and we have done our job and that\u2019s the only thing we could have done. We just need to enjoy this and look forward to next week.\u2019<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Arsenal legend Paul Merson has promised to get a Tottenham tattoo if they pull off a shock result against City \u2013 but Arteta gave a more coy response when asked if he would be wearing \u2018Spurs pyjamas\u2019 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

\u2018We will certainly be watching the game,\u2019 Arteta said. \u2018We watch all the games. We need the result. It\u2019s football, there are always possibilities.\u2019<\/p>\n

Speaking more generally about Arsenal\u2019s win over United, Arteta added: \u2018We know how tough it is, that\u2019s why we have only won twice in 21 matches here. <\/p>\n

\u2018We started the game really well, the goal affected us with the things we had to do on the ball.<\/p>\n

\u2018Playing backwards, playing safe, it wasn\u2019t progressing our play. We started to give our balls away and it was open. But the way we defended, we didn\u2019t give away much at all.<\/p>\n
