In the upcoming North London Derby, former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson believes that Arsenal will emerge victorious against Tottenham Hotspur.
If the Gunners manage to secure a win, they would have the opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League standings.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Merson pointed out that Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal squad boasts superior players compared to Spurs.
According to Merson, Arsenal is expected to triumph in this fixture as Tottenham tends to adopt a gung-ho style of play, where both teams take attacking risks.
Merson expressed his confidence in Arsenal’s victory, stating that they are a stronger unit with better players than their North London rivals.
He anticipates that Tottenham’s open style of play, emphasizing goal-scoring battles, will not bode well against Arsenal’s superior team cohesion.
Given Tottenham’s approach, Merson firmly believes that Arsenal will secure the win in this highly-anticipated match.
