The north London duo have been drawn together.
It’s the world’s oldest club football competition as the Third Round of the FA Cup has been drawn, with the big talking point being Arsenal v Tottenham Hotspur.
The north London rivals will face each other in this tournament for the first time since 2001 in what is certainly the pick of the draw.
There is of course no love lost between these two teams, with the Gunners and Spurs having had a less than amicable relationship over the years.
Here is how Twitter reacted to the news.
Arsenal vs Spurs. Well, I wanted a bigger team O.o
