Arsenal Champion Paulo Merson He previewed an unclassic draw in north London on Sunday, but is convinced the Gunners will deliver.
Mikel Arteta's side have won their last two transfers. Tottenham But Spanish suffers from multiple heads in the choices this weekend.
Declan Rice was suspended for a red card against Brighton For the last time, captain Martin Odegaard is likely to lose the match after being crushed or turned over during play. Norway I don't have a week.
Arteta was coy when preparing for the Norwegian's physical and suggested he could feature on Sunday, But that seems very improvised, as summer signing Mikel Merino is sure to miss out with a shoulder injury.
Merson feels the loss of Rice and Odegaard will be too much for his old side and is expecting a draw, but he is not too optimistic about a point for Arsenal on Sunday afternoon.
'EU I am concerned about Arsenal Not north London Derby. No. Declan Rice Oh Martin Odegaard “It's a big concern,” Merson told Sportskeeda.
“Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne lost a lot of games last season, but Manchester City still managed to win the title. Can Arsenal do the same without key players? Probably not.
“There is a draw here, but there is more hope, to be honest. Tottenham don’t have a draw, they could have caught up to the top of the league if they weren’t so naive in their defence.
“The fact that Arsenal's most influential players (Odegaard and Rice) won't be able to play for them here.”
Merson insists the right move for Arteta to make Tottenham more financially sound is to let Kai Havertz go and release Raheem Sterling, who has been out on loan, up front.
The winger has yet to face rivals Arsenal, but the Gunners believe Sterling will pose a threat to Tottenham's first line.
“In my opinion, Mikel Arteta now needs to bring Kai Havertz back into midfield, but there is no Gabriel Jesus to play as a striker,” Merson told Sky Sports.
“He will probably end up playing with a false nine – it should be Leandro Trossard with Raheem Sterling on the wing.
“At this time of year for Tottenham, we fear there are players ready to run every minute to catch up behind the high line and Sterling is up against them.”
