Roy Keane, a former Manchester United captain, recently made his prediction for the upcoming north London derby. In his view, Arsenal will not come out on top against their arch-rivals Tottenham, despite their recent 5-0 victory over Chelsea. If Arsenal does manage to win, they will move four points ahead at the top of the Premier League standings. However, defending champions Manchester City will have a chance to respond later in the day when they face Nottingham Forest.
Both Arsenal and Man City are competing for the Premier League title this season. While Arsenal is vying for their first title since 2004, Man City is looking to secure a record fourth consecutive title. The race for the title seems to be between these two teams, as Liverpool, who had hopes of winning the trophy in Jurgen Klopp's last season at Anfield, have only won one of their last five games.
The north London derby holds a lot of significance for Tottenham as well. They are still in the running for a top-four spot and will do everything in their power to hinder Arsenal's title bid. Roy Keane, a legend at Old Trafford, expects Tottenham to come out on top in this crucial match. He firmly believes that Arsenal will not be able to secure a victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
In an interview on The Overlap, Keane predicted a 1-1 or 2-1 win for Tottenham. He believes that it will be a challenging and exciting game, with Tottenham being the team to watch out for. This prediction comes in light of Tottenham's recent 4-0 defeat to Newcastle, while Arsenal's last game was a 5-0 thrashing of Chelsea.
On the other hand, former Arsenal player Paul Merson is confident about his former club's chances in the derby. He believes that Arsenal is the better team and will prove to be too strong for Tottenham. Merson also pointed out Tottenham's record against top-half teams, which has been less than impressive. He predicts a 3-1 win for Arsenal and believes that Tottenham cannot match Arsenal's style of play.
Merson also mentioned Arsenal's recent change in tactics, which ultimately backfired against Aston Villa. He believes that the team's current lineup, with Kai Havertz up front and Thomas Partey, Declan Rice, and Martin Odegaard in midfield, is their strongest and should be maintained for the rest of the season. With his inside knowledge of the club, Merson is confident in his prediction of an Arsenal victory.
As the north London derby approaches, it is clear that both teams have a lot to play for. Arsenal is looking to stay at the top of the league, while Tottenham is fighting for a top-four spot. With differing predictions from two legends of the game, it remains to be seen who will come out on top in this highly anticipated match.
