Tim Sherwood has said on Sky Sports News (1:25pm, September 25, 2021) that Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could be the difference against Nuno’s Tottenham Hotspur today.
Arsenal will take on Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium in the North London derby.
Aubameyang is likely to start for the Gunners in the Premier League match.
Former Tottenham manager Sherwood believes that the Gabon international striker could lead Arsenal to a win in the North London derby.
The Sky Sports pundit has added that Spurs striker Kane could be the difference as well in the game.
Sherwood said on Sky Sports News (1:25pm, September 25, 2021): “Harry Kane might be the difference, but Aubameyang might be the difference.
“He had a poor season last year, but we know how prolific he can be.
“Certainly in this fixture, both of them players I mentioned there, are capable of winning it on their own.”
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to make a difference?
Aubameyang is not having the best of times at the moment and struggled last season as well.
The Arsenal no.14 has scored one goal in the Premier League and three goals in the Carabao Cup so far this season.
However, the 32-year-old has shown some positive signs lately, and we all know just how good he is.
Aubameyang will be determined to get his season going properly, and he will know that a goal or two against Spurs could be a launchpad.
Tottenham are not doing particularly well defensively, and the former Borussia Dortmund star will be keen to put away the chances that the likes of Martin Odegaard and Emile Smith Rowe are going to create for him today.
