Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho is already playing mind games ahead of the North London Derby.
The two London clubs are set to battle in 20 days, on July 12th.
But Mourinho is already keeping an eye out for the game, as they play on the Thursday before the match on Sunday.
Arsenal have a game two days earlier than Spurs, which gives them a lot more time to rest and prepare for the game.
Mourinho said at his Zoom pre-match press conference before taking on West Ham: "Look to be honest, I don't like the nine days until Sheffield.
"But I also don't like to play three matches in six days, which is going to happen in the week where we play Arsenal.
"And Arsenal is going to have I believe six days from the previous game to that one and we are going to play six days, three matches.
"So I don't like both. I like the balance. I like three days in between matches. I like a balanced situation. These nine days are of course not good for us at all."
