Martin Keown has predicted Tottenham and Arsenal to draw on Sunday, as the two north London clubs meet in the Premier League.

Spurs welcome the Gunners to their new ground for the first time and they currently sit a point behind them in the division standings.

They played out a 2-2 draw earlier in the season at the Emirates Stadium and both need a win to try strengthen their chances of finishing in a European position.

Ex-Arsenal defender Keown has predicting another draw this weekend with a 1-1 scoreline, but has picked out some dangerous threats from his former club.

“Bukayo Saka and Kieran Tierney are in fine form, and Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang is a machine. But [Jose] Mourinho will see this as the perfect game. He prides himself on getting results in big games,” Keown told the Daily Mail.

TBR’s View – Can Aubameyang decide the result?

Despite the fact that Mikel Arteta’s team has a crop of talented young players impressing in the XI, the north London derby could be the kind of stage where the senior stars take centre stage.

Aubameyang is certainly the most high profile player in the Arsenal ranks and it will be interesting to see how he fares in comparison to the main Spurs forward Harry Kane.

Aubameyang, 31, already has 23 goals across all competitions this season and it will be intriguing to see if he operates through a wide left role or through the centre.

He’s certainly got the speed and movement to cause havoc to the Spurs backline, so may be a key factor in deciding who earns a vital three points.
