Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has claimed that Spurs players are acutely aware of the significance of the upcoming derby against Arsenal.

The two clubs, separated by three points, will meet each other in one of the most important North London derbies of recent history at White Hart Lane on Saturday.

"The derby is an important game for all the Spurs fans, all the Spurs players, we know how big the impact can be if we win," the French goalkeeper told Sky Sports News HQ

"We are very calm about that. We are just recovering from the last game and try to prepare as well as possible, but we will find the right energy to fight."

Tottenham currently sit three points behind league leaders Leicester City and three ahead of third-placed Arsenal.
