Spurs have suffered back-to-back defeats in the last week and the Gunners have the chance of inflicting their third straight defeat again.On Saturday, a late Ashley Barnes goal inflicted a 2-1 defeat on Mauricio Pochettinos side, they then lost 2-0 against Chelsea on Wednesday to see them fall nine points behind league leaders Liverpool.Now the club host Arsenal at Wembley, live on talkSPORT, on Saturday at 12.30pm where Unai Emerys side have the chance to close the gap on their rivals to just one point with a win.Tottenhams three straight defeats in 2012 came against Wigan, Manchester City and then Arsenal.Andre Villas-Boas was in charge of the club at the time after replacing Harry Redknapp in the summer of 2012.3

Spurs lost 1-0 at home to Wigan thanks to a Ben Watson goal and were then beaten 2-1 at Manchester City.Villas-Boas side then suffered a humiliating 5-2 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates.Emmanuel Adebayor put Spurs ahead after 10 minutes but was sent off just eight minutes later for a lunging tackle on Santi Cazorla.

Arsene Wengers side were then 3-1 up by half-time after goals from Per Mertesacker, Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud.Santi Cazorla made it 4-1 before Gareth Bale got one back to give Spurs a glimmer of hope with 19 minutes left.Any hope was extinguished when Theo Walcott added a fifth in the final minute of the match. It was the joint-heaviest defeat Spurs have suffered at the hands of Arsenal in the Premier League.They lost by the same scoreline nine months earlier at the Emirates. On that occasion, Tottenham had a 2-0 lead before conceding five goals.There is hope going into this north London derby, though, as Spurs have won five of their last seven home Premier League games against Arsenal, including each of the last two.This will be the fifth meeting between Tottenham and Arsenal at Wembley, with Spurs winning two. They could become the first team to beat the Gunners on three separate occasions at the stadium.
