Ian Wright admits that Tottenham are a strong team and they are favourites to beat Arsenal in the north London derby tomorrow.
Spurs have started this season on a very bright note while Arsenal wallows below the top ten, just ten games into the new season.
Jose Mourinho’s men have topped the league table over the last two Premier League weekends and beating Arsenal will keep them there for another week.
Even though they only lead Liverpool by goal difference, their position shows that they have become the superior side in north London and the Sunday game gives them the chance to shove that in the face of Arsenal.
Wright admits that Mourinho can come up with a game plan that will hurt Arsenal.
He recalled how the Special One set up his team to hurt opponents during his first time in England as the manager of Chelsea, saying that he has that same defending and counter-attacking system now at Spurs, but he predicts that Arsenal will still win the game.
Wright said via Metro: ‘In his first tenure it was Robben, Cole and Drogba who used to cause us all sorts of problems, he knows how to play against an Arsenal side.
‘He knows that you can soak up that pressure and if it’s not quite working you can get through them and you can counter attack them and it’s the same now.
‘You really can’t blame him (Aubameyang) for not getting chances, it’s not up to him, he’s there finish them and we know he can do that very, very well.
‘You have to hope that the creativity from the midfield to the forwards get better because at the moment from the forwards point of view it’s not happening.
‘I’d say they’re not creating enough chances for our main man to score so you’d have to say with Spurs and their free-scoring vibe at the minute you have to fancy them as favourites but I’m still going to go with Arsenal to beat them 3-2.’
