'Spurs will have a real go at the Emirates': Chris Sutton makes North London derby prediction

Speaking to the BBC, Chris Sutton said: "There are going to be goals in this one, and lots of them! This isn't going to be a drab game because Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou will go blow for blow, whatever Arsenal throw at them.

"He's not going to go there and park the bus like Manchester United did earlier this season. I am expecting Spurs to cause Arsenal problems, but the same will apply to the Gunners when they go at the Spurs backline.

"It would be remarkable if Postecoglou could continue the start he has made by going to the Emirates and getting a win on Arsenal's home patch — he will have a real go, but it might prove to be a step too far."

Sutton's prediction: Arsenal 3–2 Tottenham

The first North London derby of the 2023/24 campaign will be played at the Emirates on Sunday with teams heading into the game in high spirits.

Arsenal and Tottenham are currently level on points in the Premier League table (13 after five games) although Spurs have a better goal difference (8 vs 5).
