Arsenal forward Kai Havertz recently claimed that he will be supporting bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspur when they face Manchester City in the Premier League on Tuesday, May 14. The Gunners will be hoping that their north London rivals do them a favor by getting crucial points off City to boost their chances of winning this season's Premier League title.
