Tottenham star has already admitted he supports Arsenal ahead of 'title decider' vs Man City

Arsenal are banking on Spurs doing them a favour against Manchester City and one of their players is a Gunners supporter.

One Spurs star might just have extra motivation to beat Manchester City and do Arsenal a favour on Tuesday night.

Arsenal's win over Manchester United on Sunday, their 27th of the season in the Premier League, ensured that the title race goes down to the final day.

They are now one point clear at the top of the table but City have a huge game in hand against Spurs which could decide the title.

A first Premier League win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium would therefore put City two points clear and firmly in the driving seat ahead of their last game of the season at home to West Ham.

A draw would put them level on points, though Arsenal have a slightly superior goal difference.

A substantial section of Spurs fans are seemingly happy for their side to lose given they don't want to help Arsenal win the league.

But Ange Postecoglou said that anyone of that mindset needs "counselling" and for one of his stars, there is added incentive.

Dejan Kulusevski, who has two goals against City, has spoken about his love for rivals Arsenal and how they are his "favourite team".

Speaking on the Swedish Lundh podcast during his time at Parma, Kulusevski said: "My favourite team is Arsenal because I like everything about the club, the city, the players and the way they play football."

In another interview after moving to Spurs, the Sweden international appeared to hint at wanting to play for Arsenal.

As per football.london, he said: "There's one team I've always wanted to play for, and I think I will play there one day, but I don't want to say what team it is because it's sensitive stuff."

City finally beat Spurs on their own patch in the FA Cup earlier this season, while the two sides played out an entertaining 3-3 draw at the Etihad Stadium.

Spurs still have a slim chance of making the top four but Kulusevski is still relishing the challenge.

"It's a team [Man City] we love playing against," he stated.

"We love playing against the strongest teams, so it's going to be a nice evening. "The fact they leave spaces behind the backline is one thing, but there are many different things when you play against the best."
