Tottenham boss Postecoglou: You can't judge us on Arsenal trip

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou wants his players to stick to their system when facing Arsenal today.

Postecoglou has stated the performance in the derby will be more important than the result.

He said, "We're five games in. I understand that for many people, they will see this as our first real test and I get that.

"It is pretty easy, you could almost write two stories now. If we are successful, great, we're on the right track. If we're not, we've still got a long way to go. For me, what is going to be more important is how much of our football I see in a big game like this. How much of us can I see against a top opponent?

"That will give me the biggest indicator of where we're at but, ultimately, we'll still be six games into a new cycle, a new group of players, a very young group of players. Either way, irrespective of the outcome, I'd say the performance will be my biggest measure, but knowing we still have a long way to go."
