Tottenham vs Arsenal: ‘I Hope Gunners Wipe The Floor With Spurs’ – Paul Merson

Arsenal takes on Tottenham in the next North London Derby this weekend for what promises to be a cracking derby affair.

The Gunners have won five of their last six as they sit top of the league by five points. For Spurs in their last five, the form line is vastly different. Two wins, two losses and a draw. That isn’t exactly winning football.

But when it comes to this fixture, the form line can be thrown out the window, even if Arsenal are a whopping 11 points ahead of their rivals.

Paul Merson has admitted he hopes to see Arsenal ‘wipe the floor’ with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Ideally, Spurs might need the victory to boost their hopes of Champions League football next season.

And although Merson is hoping for revenge and thensome, he believes it’ll end 2-2.

He told Sportskeeda: “If Tottenham play a dangerous game, however, Arsenal could run riot. I don’t see this game as a foregone conclusion – I hope Arsenal wipe the floor with Tottenham, but I don’t think they will. Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 2-2 Arsenal.”

There’s no doubt that the Gunners will be narrow favorites.

Then again, Antonio Conte is a much more experienced manager than his Spanish counterpart, who has only been in the job three years.

Besides, being favourites doesn’t mean much.

The underdog label might suit Tottenham down to the ground against an Arsenal side who will be under the microscope, regarding their title ambitions.
