For many visiting teams, The Emirates has become one of the toughest venues in world football. When Tottenham Hotspur come to town, the atmosphere seems to intensify even further.
Micky van de Ven has spoken about the distinct feeling surrounding matches between Arsenal and Tottenham. He described the Emirates as a place where the crowd’s energy feels different, saying it’s like a wave of hostility that you can sense when Spurs are the opponents.
Tottenham’s record at The Emirates underscores the challenge for the visitors. In Premier League play, Spurs have won just once in 19 visits. Across all competitions, their results at the stadium include two wins, seven draws, and thirteen losses.
Van de Ven is still awaiting his first away victory at Arsenal, having experienced two defeats and a draw in his three appearances there. Arsenal supporters will be reassured by his acknowledgment of the difficult atmosphere surrounding the fixture.
