Eric Dier aiming for perfect week with derby win

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Eric Dier hopes to cap off his week by adding a North London derby win to his England call-up.

Tottenham Hotspur defender-turned-midfielder has promised that fans can prepare for an exciting North London derby on Sunday afternoon.

Spurs are unbeaten in their last 10 games in the league, while Arsenal had won their last five matches before their 5-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in midweek, and Dier admits that it will be a good game to watch.

The 21-year-old told the club's website: "It's got everything - we're in great form, they're in great form, apart from their result against Bayern Munich they've been doing very well so they're a great team but we've been doing extremely well too.

"We like to play a very intense style of football and they like to attack. It'll be a good game to watch and hopefully we can be the ones enjoying it at the end."

Dier has also received his first call-up to the England senior squad this week, and the former Sporting Lisbon man credits Mauricio Pochettino for his meteoric rise.

The youngster added: "I'm really thankful to the manager for trusting me and believing in me in that position. Getting the England call-up was a very proud moment for me and my family. It's something you always dream of as a kid.

"I couldn't have imagined it to be honest. If you had told me this would happen when I was sitting on holiday I wouldn't have believed you."

Tottenham head to the Emirates Stadium to take on Arsenal on Sunday.
