Tottenham Hotspur will face Arsenal in the North London derby this weekend.
Spurs will take on Arsenal in the North London derby away from home at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Pochettino’s side will lead into the match as favourites and with confidence, and it is hard to envisage them losing all three points.
Arsenal have struggled to challenge for the Premier League title challenge in recent years, and there have been suggestions that there are soft.
There have also been suggestions that the Gunners lack leaders in the team like they had in past years, such as Martin Keown and Sol Campbell.
Spurs manager Pochettino, though, does not subscribe to that idea, and told Football.London while discussing whether Arsenal lack leaders or not: “I don’t agree. I think Arsenal have a lot of great players and of course with great character too like us.
“Eric Dier was captain in the last two games and we feel very proud. But I think if we compare different teams, in all the teams are leaders and in all the teams are potential leaders and captains.”
Pochettino is very respectful of Arsenal and of manager Arsene Wenger, and this shows his character and personality.
Wenger is a great manager – one of the best of all time – and Arsenal do have a good squad, just not as good as Spurs.
Tottenham should pick up at least a point against Arsenal on Saturday.
