From what I’ve read about new Tottenham manager Igor Tudor, he is a guy who goes in at clubs and, in the short term, gets a turn out of his team.<\/p>\n
Spurs really need that to happen now, because they desperately need a win or two to get out of reach of relegation.<\/p>\n
So, this game is big for them for that reason, and also because they can put another dent in Arsenal’s title hopes too. <\/p>\n
Spurs and their fans have not had a lot to shout about this season, but if they can get something here then this could be a defining moment in their campaign, and affect Arsenal as well. They would love that.<\/p>\n
It was an incredible wobble by Mikel Arteta’s team against Wolves, drawing 2-2 after being 2-0 up, and I certainly didn’t see it coming.<\/p>\n
Maybe it is getting to be ‘squeaky bum time’ for them, but it didn’t affect them when they went away to Leeds a couple of weeks ago and won convincingly.<\/p>\n
You can imagine how Spurs will be champing at the bit, and I am expecting them to make a fast start and have a real go at them – but Arsenal have to deal with that, and find a way of bouncing back.<\/p>\n
I think the Gunners can do that, and their quality will make the difference in the end. I worry about Spurs in forward areas and it will be interesting to see how Tudor lines them up in defence too. <\/p>\n
Ultimately, if Arsenal turn up and play how we know they can, then they will win – and I am expecting them to make a real statement.<\/p>\n
Sutton’s prediction: <\/b>0-3<\/p>\n
Steve’s prediction:<\/b> Two bottlers here! I’d like Arsenal to win the league, but I don’t think they will. Man City are just used to doing it from here – they just get their heads down in the run-in, and they know what to do. 2-3<\/p>\n
AI’s prediction:<\/b> 1-2<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
