Tim Sherwood is confident that Tottenham will beat Arsenal when they travel to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Spurs play away at their bitter north London rivals at the weekend in the Premier League and both teams will be keen for three points after the international break.
Mauricio Pocehttino’s side are currently third in the table and have a four-point advantage over the Gunners in sixth.
Spurs are without a win in their last seven visits to Arsenal, but there is a real sense that they are becoming the more dominant of the two sides and will be aiming to prove that point.
Sherwood believes that Pochettino’s team are destined to get one over their rivals as they have better individual players.
“Tottenham are on the brink of winning something, they are going in the right direction,” Sherwood said on Sky Sports’ TV programme The Debate.
“How many of these Arsenal players would get in the Tottenham team? There wouldn’t be many, so we have to say on this basis that this game on Saturday morning can only end up one way, and that is a Tottenham win.”
OPINION
Spurs would come out on top in individual head-to-head battles over Arsenal, but will not the size of the task facing them when they make the short trip to the Emirates on Saturday lunchtime. Wenger’s side have been in brilliant form at home and their side should be pumped up to grind out a result for their fans. Meanwhile, Spurs have lost to top-six rivals Manchester United and Chelsea already this campaign to cast doubt over Pochettino’s teams in the crunch fixtures. Manchester City are currently running away with the league and Spurs simply have to keep winning to try and apply some form of pressure.
