Tim Sherwood: Arsenal game is "biggest of the season"

Tottenham Hotspur manager Tim Sherwood has declared the FA Cup meeting with Arsenal as "the biggest game of the season".

Spurs travel to their fierce local rivals this evening, and the boss has talked up the importance of the tie.

"This is biggest game of the season for us," Sherwood told ITV Sport.

"This is a bigger game [than the trip to Manchester United]. We want to keep the ball better, it's important against Arsenal, because you give it away and you have to wait a long time to get it back.

"I wish I was playing, it's a lot harder [as manager]. All you can do is send your players over the white line, but I'm confident of getting a result this evening."
