Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur will face each other in the Premier League next month.

Martin Keown of Arsenal waves to the fans during the Martin Keown Testimonial match between Arsenal and England XI at Highbury, on May 17, 2004 in London.

Martin Keown predicted on Match of the Day 2 on BBC One on Sunday night (10:30pm, October 22, 2017) that Arsenal will win against Tottenham Hotspur next month.

The Gunners will take on North London rivals Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League on November 18.

Arsenal legend Keown, who now works as a pundit for BBC Sport, has backed Arsene Wenger’s side to pick up all three points from the North London derby.

Keown said on Match of the Day 2 on BBC One on Sunday night (10:30pm, October 22, 2017) when asked who will win the North London derby next month: “It’s Arsenal at home. I fancy Arsenal to do it.

“Why not? All these Champions League games, and Arsenal are already playing their reserves in the Europa League. Maybe the Premier League is going to be better for Arsenal.”

Tottenham are in better form at the moment, and although form goes out of the window in a derby, Mauricio Pochettino’s side will head into match against Arsenal as favourites.

True, things could change between now and November, but it is hard to imagine Spurs dropping all three points at the Emirates Stadium.

Spurs have a better team than Arsenal do, and winning at the Emirates will motivate the players to a massive extent.

Arsenal’s form so far this season has been mixed, and the Gunners are unlikely to challenge for the Premier League title.
