Can Spurs beat Arsenal in the North London derby?
Ange Postecoglou could become the first Spurs manager to register an away win in his first North London derby since Peter Shreeves, whose side won at Highbury on New Year’s Day in 1985, however, the Emirates has not been a happy hunting ground for Tottenham over recent years.
Last season, there were a massive 24 points between second-placed Arsenal and Tottenham, after Spurs’ season fell to pieces in the second half of the campaign and they will be eager to secure the bragging rights under their Australian head coach.
Lawrenson told PaddyPower: “I fancy Arsenal here. They dispatched of PSV easily and could have beaten Everton by a far greater scoreline than the 1-0.
“Tottenham felt like they’d won the FA Cup with that late, late win over Sheffield United. You know this is always going to be tight but I just think Arsenal will have too much for them.
“Arsenal 2-0 Tottenham.”
