Republic of Ireland striker Robbie Keane has hailed tomorrow's derby clash with rivals Arsenal as the biggest game of his Tottenham career.
The Highbury showdown is already being billed as the match which will ultimately decide who clinches the lucrative fourth place in the Premiership and Keane is ready for the challenge after a successful year with both club and country.
Keane was made captain of Ireland earlier this season and signed a new four-year contract at White Hart Lane, but victory over Arsenal and a place among Europe's elite next season would make it even better.
Keane said: "The Arsenal game is the biggest since I've been at the club, there's a lot riding on it. It's important for me personally and for the players at the club that we can achieve what we want to achieve and that's Champions League.
"The key against Arsenal is not to lose the game, that's the most important thing. If we get something, if we get a point there then great.
"But if we play the way we have been playing I think we have a great chance. We know Arsenal are right behind us, they have a game in hand and Saturday will be a massive game. Of course we are looking over our shoulders, it is only natural that we do.
"Over the last few weeks a lot people have been saying that Tottenham will slip up soon but at the moment we have not.
"As the game gets closer and closer you hear the fans talking about it. It's a massive game for the fans and for ourselves. There's a lot riding on it. For the players it is a great to play in."
