Gary Neville has predicted on his podcast that Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur will win against Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in the North London derby this week.
Tottenham will take on Arsenal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League on Thursday evening.
Spurs will head into the match against the Gunners on the back of a 1-1 draw with Liverpool away from home at Anfield in the league.
Meanwhile, Arsenal got the better of Leeds United 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium in the league on Sunday.
The Gunners are fourth in the Premier League table at the moment with 66 points from 35 matches, four points ahead of fifth-placed Spurs.
Former Manchester United star Neville has backed Conte’s team to win against Arteta’s side in the North London derby this week.

Neville said on his podcast: “I fancy Tottenham on Thursday night. I think they were brilliant last night at Anfield.”
Big game
In our opinion, the North London derby between Tottenham and Arsenal could decide the top-four race.
Chelsea could still drop out of the Champions League places, but Tottenham simply have to win to keep their chances of a top-four finish alive.
A draw for Conte’s side would not really help them.
Playing at home will give Tottenham an advantage, but Arsenal are in great form at the moment and will fancy their chances of picking up at least a point from the North London derby.
