The much-anticipated 'North London Derby' is set to get underway on the pre-dawn Monday (16th), with Tottenham Hotspur hosting Arsenal in what could be the 'coronation' of Tottenham striker Harry Carney. In this fierce matchup, he has the chance to surpass the late legendary Greaves' scoring record and become the team's all-time leading scorer. He needs only one goal to equal Greaves' record, and if he scores twice, he could even surpass the legend.
The 29-year-old Khalilani scored the only goal of the match in the last EFL Cup match to help Spurs beat Portsmouth 1-0, amassing a further 265 goals, just one behind Greaves. He is within touching distance of becoming Tottenham's all-time leading scorer.
If Harry Carney makes a breakthrough in this crucial 'North London Derby', it will mean a lot. Not only because it is a top-level matchup with global attention, but also because Carney joined Arsenal's youth team at the age of 8, but failed to be utilized, and eventually joined Tottenham Hotspur's youth system, which made his way to stardom. In this match against Arsenal, he is expected to be the king of Tottenham's scorers and deal a fatal blow to the opponents.
In fact, the England international has broken down Arsenal's goal 14 times in his career, including a second goal at home in the Premier League last season to help Tottenham beat Arsenal 3-0. This "North London Derby" may see history repeating itself.
