‘I do see Spurs…’ – Chris Sutton predicts who will win Arsenal v Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday | OneFootball

Arsenal host Tottenham Hotspur at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday when Premier League action resumes, and the Gunners will be desperate to secure the bragging rights by picking up all three points against their bitter city rivals.

Losing the North London derby to Spurs will further deal a blow on their chances of challenging for the Premier League title, and Chris Sutton believes they will get a narrow 2-1 victory despite their recent injury woes.

“Arsenal have had a bad week and right now it looks like Tottenham have a better chance of winning a trophy this season than they do,” the pundit told the BBC.

“People are quite rightly pointing out that the Gunners are missing chances and, with Bukayo Saka out injured, they are just lacking that spark in attack. Having said all that, maybe they will find it again here, because I think the way Spurs play will suit Arsenal.

“By that, I mean Mikel Arteta’s side can soak up pressure and counter-attack, and even without Saka or a recognised centre-forward, I think they will get chances in this game. It is whether they take them this time. I am backing them to stick a couple away.

“I do see Spurs scoring, but they give up a lot of chances. Arsenal have to win this game to hang on in the title race, and I think they will.”

The Gunners are six points behind league leaders Liverpool (who have a game in hand) after 20 games, and they simply have to win tomorrow to remain in contention for the title.

However, victory against Tottenham will not come easy as manager Ange Postecoglou is desperate for results and a win on the road against Arsenal will be a huge and much-needed boost going forward.

Spurs have won just one of their last eight Premier League games and victory at Emirates could get them back on track again.

The match promises to be feisty, and both clubs will be ready to give their all in the pursuit of all three points.
