Tottenham Hotspur versus Arsenal is undoubtedly the standout fixture of the weekend as the Premier League returns after the international break.

Arsenal won the corresponding fixture last season and will look to return to winning ways after being held to a 1-1 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion in their previous league encounter.

Spurs will also look to make amends after losing 2-1 to Newcastle United last time out, making this an intriguing contest.

Several pundits have had their say ahead of the game, with Chris Sutton predicting Tottenham to secure a home win.

However, Peter Crouch, who played in this fixture during his time with Spurs, feels Arsenal will nick all three points.

Peter Crouch predicts five-goal thriller between Tottenham and Arsenal

Speaking on the Peter Crouch Podcast, the former England international discussed how the game would pan out at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Arsenal academy graduate Steve Sidwell also part of the chat.

“I have said goals, so I have gone for a 2-2 draw,” said Sidwell.

While Crouch predicted an open game with bags of goals, he changed his mind a couple of times before predicting the Gunners to win by the odd goal in five.

“I was going to go for 2-2, my second was 2-1. I am going to go 3-2 Arsenal. I think it will be an open game.”

What have other pundits said about NLD?

Unlike Crouch, his former teammate Aaron Lennon feels Tottenham will win the game. Paul Merson, on the other hand, feels the North London derby will end in a draw.

Arsenal have a handful of concerns ahead of the game with Declan Rice suspended and Martin Odegaard ruled out with an ankle injury.

Tottenham have no fresh injury problems, although Dominic Solanke and Yves Bissouma are set to face late fitness tests ahead of the game.

Current form is usually thrown out of the window in games like this so regardless of how the two teams line up, an exciting game could be on the cards on Sunday.
