Kieran Gibbs now predicts the result of Arsenal vs Tottenham clash this weekend

At the Emirates Stadium this Sunday, Kieran Gibbs is backing Arsenal to ‘knock Tottenham Hotspur down a few pegs’.

In an interview with ESPN, the former Arsenal defender predicted that his old team would win the North London Derby 3-1.

Ange Postecoglou and Mikel Arteta have both won four of their first five Premier League games this season, and neither player has experienced a loss.

Postecoglou has had a fantastic start to life in England, as Tottenham just defeated Sheffield United in an incredible comeback.

Arsenal, who has yet to find their best form, won their most recent match at Goodison Park since 2017.

The matchup in North London promises to be exciting as Spurs look to prove they can compete with one of the league’s top teams.

However, Gibbs thinks his former team will easily win at the Emirates.

Gibbs was questioned by ESPN about his prediction for this weekend’s match between Arsenal and Tottenham.

Since I didn’t like Spurs, he admitted, he was concerned that the North London Derby would become less exciting as a result of Harry Kane’s departure.

However, I’m glad that they’ve got off to a good start because it sets up a good weekend for them, but I think Arsenal will win.

“This weekend, Tottenham will likely take a few steps backwards, in my opinion.

“I’m going to go 3-1 Arsenal at the Emirates with the way it’s rocking right now.”

Spurs are very much in the early stages of a process under Postecoglou, the Australian manager who took over in the summer.

However, Spurs have made a strong impression thus far, and Sunday’s match at the Emirates will serve as a good gauge of where they stand right now.

Of course, Arsenal won the North London Derby twice last year and has been the second-best team in the league over the past year.

However, under Postecoglou, Tottenham is anticipated to give it their all, which could make for an intriguing match on Sunday.
