Harry Redknapp predicts Tottenham will derail Arsenal’s title bid in the north London derby
Harry Redknapp has boldly tipped his former club Tottenham to derail Arsenal’s title bid in Sunday’s north London derby.
The Gunners head into the clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as slight favourites, as they continue to fight for a first Premier League title in 20 years.
Mikel Arteta’s side are a point clear of Manchester City at the top, having played a game more than Pep Guardiola’s side, and can’t afford to slip up over the final few games.
Harry Redknapp tips Tottenham to beat Arsenal
The first north London derby at the Emirates finished in a 2-2 draw, and there’s a lot riding on the game for both sides.
Spurs are involved in a race with Aston Villa for a top four finish and currently sit six points behind Unai Emery’s side, but have played two games less.
Redknapp is expecting the game to be a thriller, and has tipped his former side to put a big dent in Arsenal’s title hopes.
‘Here we go, what a game this should be!”, Redknapp told BetVictor.
“Tottenham have been involved in so many thrillers this season and this should be no different.
“Spurs have some massive fixtures to end the season, none bigger than this. Can they derail Arsenal’s title charge?
“As bad as Chelsea were during the week, I thought Arsenal were exceptional at times. Some of the passes and moves they had were just a joy to watch.
“This looks like the biggest test for them on paper. Win this, and that could be them on the verge.
“We saw during the week that rivals love ending title dreams, there will be Spurs fans at this game who remember when Arsenal won the league at White Hart Lane, they’ll be so up for this one.
“I think Spurs have it in them to get a something here. 2-2!”
Redknapp was also full of praise for Martin Odegaard, and singled out the Norwegian as one to watch.
“Martin Odegaard was absolutely brilliant during the week, a joy to watch with the ball at his feet”, Redknapp added.
“There’s not many better in the country than this fella when he’s in that mood.”
