Arsenal v Tottenham
Sunday, 2pm, Premier League game at the Emirates Stadium, London
TV: Sky Sports Main Event, Premier League
This one’s huge. We saw with the Merseyside derby, the levels go up.
I don’t think Everton have played like that all season, but because it’s against Liverpool and they’re at home, you see the difference.
And I think Tottenham would be the same on Sunday. With it being a derby they have to come out and produce.
Arsenal are fighting for the title while Tottenham have got a couple of games in hand on Villa chasing fourth.
I’m not sure they win both of those though so it looks like Villa will just sneak in the top four, which would be an amazing achievement for them.
But it means Spurs probably finish fifth and they’ll be a bit disappointed considering they probably should finish above Villa really. Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool at the moment are too far ahead, but being the best of the rest it would have been a good season for Tottenham.
If Arsenal win on Sunday it’ll probably cement that.
Arsenal to Win
And it will be a tougher game for Arsenal than the Chelsea one in midweek but I still think they’ll come out top.
Spurs have to show more considering the last game they played was that Newcastle loss – 4-0.
I was there for it and they were really poor so you have to expect a reaction.
This should be close and a real battle, but the visitors just edge it for me.
Martin Odegaard to be fouled 1 or more times
Oh my God, it was beautiful to watch Martin Odegaard on Tuesday night. He’s that type of Kevin De Bruyne-like player where you’d pay just to watch him and at the moment like he is full of confidence.
There was all that huge buzz around him when he went to Real Madrid as a kid. It kind of felt like he was going to be one of those people that just fell away the way things went there, but then he’s settled down at home in Arsenal looks like the real deal now.
When you’ve got that much ability and you’re full of confidence you can try things others wouldn’t and it’s a joy to watch.
Spurs will need to get to him on Sunday to stop Arsenal playing and a foul or to on him is to be expected really.
DON’T FORGET – Paddy’s Super Sub means that if your player selection goes off, it rolls on to their replacement!
Kai Havertz to score
Havertz is on fire at the moment for Arsenal. He got two more goals during the week against his old team. They might not have a recognised striker, and that’s something I think they might address in the summer, but that’s been no problem for Arsenal recently and he’s the likeliest to net for them on Sunday.
James Maddison to have 1 or more shots on target
Werner, Son and Johnson have the pace to get at Arsenal’s defence, but James Maddison started quite well in the Newcastle game and seems a real danger man for Spurs, so I’d fancy him to get a shot on target.
Declan Rice to commit 1 or more fouls
You’d hope there’s a few tackles flying around in a game like this. You want this to be spicy.
That’ll mean there’ll be a few fouls shared in the midfield battle. You’ve got Bissouma and Bentacur in the mis there for Spurs, but I’ll go for Declan Rice to commit a foul at least.
