Spurs are currently two points ahead of Arsenal in the league table with one game to go, with a goal difference 13 superior to Arsenal's.
If Arsenal beat Aston Villa and Spurs lose to Newcastle, then Arsenal would claim second spot from their North London rivals.
Regardless of Spurs' more impressive showing this season, Campbell denies there has been any power shift over the course of the year.

The former Spurs captain told City A.M.:
"Power shift is when you start winning Premier Leagues and FA Cups on a regular basis and getting to quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals of the Champions League, that's power shift.
"Power shift is not one season. Power shift is when you've got consistency over a five or 10-year period - that's power shift. There is no evidence yet.
"There is potential, but everybody has got potential. It's all about realising potential and making it into reality. The trouble with football now is a lot of people jump up and down after about one or two seasons.
"Come back to me when it's five or 10 seasons and you have consistently played top, top football. It's all about consistency over the years, not just one season."
