Paul Merson Reveals His Prediction For Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur


 Paul Merson has claimed that Arsenal are the favourites for their Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

The Gunners head into the game looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League after their 1-1 draw with Burnley away from home last weekend.

Arsenal took a step closer towards reaching the quarter-finals of the Europa League on Thursday night thanks to their 3-1 victory over Olympiakos.

The north Londoners are now preparing for their derby showdown against Jose Mourinho’s side at The Emirates on Sunday.

Spurs are currently seven points ahead of Arsenal in the table and the Gunners will be keen to close down that gap as the race for European qualification hots up.

Former Arsenal star Merson is expecting to see the Gunners win the game on Sunday against their bitter local rivals.

Writing in his column for the Daily Star, Merson said: “I think Arsenal are favourites against them this weekend. I really do.

“If both teams play to the best of their ability I think Arsenal win the game. I think their passing and movement is better.

“Spurs rely too much on Harry Kane and Heung-min Son, and lately Gareth Bale. But Arsenal are a different team to the one Spurs beat in December.

“Bukayo Saka is playing really well. Willian looks like he has turned a corner. Nicolas Pepe had his best game yet against Leicester.

“And Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang is scoring goals again and looks much more confident. Arsenal will have to keep the back door shut, but I give them every chance in this game.

“And if Spurs don’t win, that’s it for their top four chances. They can’t afford to lose this game. One hundred per cent.”

Arsenal lost 2-0 to Tottenham Hotspur in the two sides’ last meeting in the Premier League back on 6 December. Spurs also beat Arsenal 2-1 in the Premier League last July.

UNSATISFIED Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Sarcastically Responds To 87-Rated FIFA 21 Card As Arsenal Talisman Receives Same Rating As Last Year

It’s safe to say Pierre-Emerick Aubemayang isn’t very happy about his FIFA 21 rating. The Gunners’ talisman has been handed an 87 rating for the new edition of the game – the same rating he was in FIFA 19. And the Gabon international has sarcastically responded to his card with a laughing face emoji. Aubameyang had another superb season for the Gunners, hitting 22 Premier League goals for Mikel Arteta’s side – the same he managed last year. However, the 31-year-old played a pivotal role in Arsenal’s FA Cup triumph, netting a brace against Chelsea to seal a first trophy in management for Arteta. Meanwhile, it is understood Aubameyang will ‘imminently’ sign a new three-year contract at the Emirates. It is understood he will become the club’s highest earner on his new deal, surpassing Mesut Ozil’s reported £350,000-a-week wages. The report adds Arteta has been integral in talks to keep the 31-year-old striker in north London. Former Arsenal head of football Raul Sanllehi is believed to ha...

'I Cried A Lot' - Arsenal Star Martinelli Opens Up On Knee Injury That 'Broke' Him

 The 19-year-old attacker has said that manager Mikel Arteta was a great support as he was returning to fitness. Arsenal attacker Gabriel Martinelli has admitted that the horror knee injury he suffered in June caused him a huge amount of pain both physically and emotionally. The young wide player sustained the issue during training, and though it did not feel like anything at first, it required surgery. After missing several months with the injury, Martinelli is now only finding his way back into competitive football. I was about to receive the ball and felt a little pain on my knee,” he told the Daily Mail. "Not enough for me to stop practising, but, while we were on the finishing session, I told them that I was in pain. They told me to rest and, if I felt the pain the next day, to let them know. “When I woke up, I felt it but I was able to walk. I thought it was nothing at first, but it was a pain I'd never felt before. I went to the club for the examinations and they said i...
