IT’S a North London derby with everything to play for.
Arsenal make the short trip to local rivals Tottenham on Sunday – knowing a victory will maintain their title charge.
But Spurs have high aspirations themselves – and are still in the hunt for a Champions League top four finish.
Watching all the action unfold will be the players’ wives and girlfriends.
From a Ukrainian TV presenter who questioned Pep Guardiola’s tactics to a mum who bravely addressed her post-pregnancy stretch marks after having twins, here’s North London’s finest Wags.

They have since had three children together – Leo Cruz in 2021, and twins Rome and Delilah.
The model was then championed on social media by mums for showing off her stretch marks from her last pregnancy, admitting they were tough to embrace but how proud she was to give birth to three healthy children.
Kennedy has since returned to fashion photoshoots and is more in demand than ever.
Milly White
Milly and Ben White have enjoyed a whirlwind romance.
The Gunners right-back got together with the Instagram model in 2022.
White wasted very little time before popping the question on a luxury holiday
The happy couple shared pictures of their engagement, including one of their matching ‘I love you’ wrist tattoos.
Then, in May 2023 the pair said their ‘I do’s’ at a private ceremony at the Old Marylebone Town Hall in London.
Eldina Ahmic
Bosnian beauty Eldina began dating Dejan Kulusevski in 2020, when the Spurs ace played for Serie A giants Parma.
Football must have been a hot topic for the pair, because at the time she played for Swedish side, IF Brommapojkarna.
Back in December, Kulusevksi scored in the 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest and dedicated the goal to his wife and future child.
Stuffing the ball underneath his jersey, he then proceeded to make the heart sign with his hands.
Claudia Kiwior
Stunning blonde Claudia is the flamboyant twerking wife of Arsenal’s Polish defender Jakub Kiwior.
She goes under the stage name Redheaded and has her own clothing label aimed at dancers.
Kowalczyk is a competitive twerker – and won the Queen of Twerking Competition in Germany in 2017, and was a semi-finalist in the European Twerk Champions in 2018.
She is a regular in the stands at the Emirates – cheering her beau on.
Estela Braga
The Brazilian beauty is married to Spurs left-back Emerson Royal.
They met in 2020 and are now madly in love, with the Spurs star occasionally posting sweet messages to her on social media.
Estela has been seen at Spurs games showing her support for Royal and the club.
Earlier this season, she welcomed their son the day after Royal was in action against Sheffield United.
Sophia Weber
German beauty Sophia has been with Arsenal’s in-form Kai Havertz since they were lovestruck teenagers.
She joined Instagram at the end of 2020 and already boasts over 390,000 followers.

She also loves to travel and took in a break to Paris recently.
Josephine Hojbjerg
Love is still in the air for Josephine and Pierre Hojbjerg.
The lovebirds are so enamoured with each other, they married twice.
They first walked down the aisle in 2019 at Copenhagen City Hall in a ceremony that was so low-key even Hojbjerg’s mother was not invited.
But in 2021, the occasion in Osterbro was much more lavish. It was attended by family and friends, including Leicester City defender Jannick Vestergaard.
Helene Spilling
Helene began dating Arsenal skipper Martin Odegaard during the 2022-2023 campaign.
She is a dancer who has featured on ‘Skal vi Danse’, Norway’s version of Strictly Come Dancing.
