"Ease the pressure": Michael Owen makes prediction on Arsenal vs Tottenham

Michael Owen has backed Arsenal to celebrate a win over Tottenham tonight when the two sides face each other in the North London derby. After a poor start of the season, the latest games of the Gunners have been promising ones. Meanwhile, Spurs' successful run ended after a 3 - 0 defeat to Crystal Palace on September 11. As the two North London clubs are set to be in action at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday evening, Owen has given his prediction. He believes this game will be a successful one for Mikel Arteta's side, with his team beating Tottenham with a score of 2 - 1. “This should be a thriller as both sides will need the win," the pundit said. “Arsenal have shown signs of life in recent weeks with back-to-back wins against Norwich and Burnley. The performances haven’t been extraordinary but Arteta won’t care one bit at the minute as it helps to ease the pressure on him. “Spurs played well in the first half against Chelsea but faded after the break. Nuno Espirito Santo has got to be concerned with the form recently. “Harry Kane has obviously yet to score in the league and the pressure around the Spurs talisman will grow. No player has ever scored more in this fixture though and it would be typical of him to score in this game. “Arsenal have won two in a row, Spurs have lost two in a row. For that reason, I’m going to side with the Gunners here and predict a 2-1 home win.”
