Arsenal take on Tottenham Hotspur this Sunday, and Roy Keane has just revealed his prediction for the game.
The Gunners received a huge boost after Liverpool slipped up against Everton on Wednesday night. We are now three points clear of Jurgen Klopp’s side and our goal difference is significantly better as well.
Manchester City remain the favourites to win the Premier League title this season, but all we can do is win our games and hope for the best.
Up next is the North London derby, and this is the biggest fixture between Arsenal and Tottenham in a long, long time because of what’s at stake.
Keane has now predicted who he thinks will win the game.
Roy Keane predicts the result of Tottenham vs Arsenal
Arsenal had a terrible record at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but that ended last season.
We had failed in each of our first four attempts to win a game at their new ground, but Mikel Arteta‘s side produced a phenomenal performance in January last year.
A Hugo Lloris own goal put us in front before a superb strike from Martin Odegaard proved to be enough to help us win the game.
Tottenham would love to get their revenge on Sunday, and the fact that a win would all but end Arsenal’s title hopes would make it sweeter for them.
However, Arsenal’s form in 2024 has been incredible. We’ve won 14 of our 16 games in the Premier League, with our only loss coming against Aston Villa earlier this month.
Arteta will demand nothing but a win on Sunday, but Roy Keane has decided to make a prediction that is going to annoy a lot of Arsenal fans.
The Manchester United legend seems convinced that the Gunners will drop points on Sunday.
He said on Stick to Football: “I think Spurs will get a result. I think 1-1 or 2-1 Spurs, I don’t think Arsenal will win.
“It could be a mad game and Spurs could turn up.”

The one Arsenal player Mikel Arteta has to start vs Tottenham
The North London derby on Sunday could define our season, and Mikel Arteta will surely name a really strong line-up to help us win the game.
Our usual starters are all expected to get the nod, but we really hope Arteta hands a start to Thomas Partey too at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Ghana international has missed most of this season due to an injury, but he was incredible against Chelsea when he started on Tuesday night.
If Partey starts on Sunday again and has a good game, we are convinced Arsenal will come out on top against Tottenham.
However, only time will tell if the former Atletico Madrid man will get the nod ahead of Jorginho.
