Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur side have been in awful form in the Premier League recently.
Spurs have won just one of their last six matches to put themselves under pressure in the top four race.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side had looked well on their way to retaining their spot in the Champions League.
However, their slump in form over the past two months has led to Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United making ground on them.
And Merson has seen some concerning signs emerge during Tottenham’s run of poor form.
Indeed, Spurs’ recent loss to Liverpool caused particular alarm for the former Arsenal midfielder, as he felt that Pochettino’s side managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Merson said: “Do you know how Spurs remind me of? Arsenal of the last seven years.
“They played in a football match the other day [against Liverpool] where the only team that looked like winning that football match was Tottenham and they lose it. There’s only one other team in the country that does that, and that’s Arsenal.”
Tottenham currently have a one point advantage over Arsenal, but Unai Emery’s side could move ahead of them later today.
The Gunners take on Everton, and if they are to win at Goodison Park, then they could put more pressure on Spurs.
