Glen Johnson makes Arsenal vs Tottenham prediction

The two north London rivals will lock horns for the first time this season on Saturday at the Emirates Stadium.

Glen Johnson has predicted a 2-1 win for Arsenal in Saturday’s north London derby against Tottenham.

The Premier League leaders will play host to Antonio Conte’s unbeaten Spurs team at the Emirates. As only one point stands between them in the league table, both sides will be desperate to land a decisive three points in this high-stakes clash.

“It’s going to be a tough one to call, to be honest,” former Chelsea and Liverpool defender Johnson told SafeBettingSites.

“Tottenham look great, Arsenal look great. Finally, we’ve got two good teams going into the north London derby!

“I literally have no idea how the game will play out because Arsenal surprised me, Tottenham look really solid. This game is probably the biggest 50/50 this season.

“It would be a massive win for either team because both teams are performing really well and you’ve got to show that you’re at that level. There’s a lot of teams in the league that can get to a position near the top of the table, but it can be false because it depends on who you’ve been playing.

“These are two clubs now where they’re both in form. They’re both knocking around the top of the table and you’re going to have to prove that you’re the best at some stage.

“This is their first big test, for both teams. [I’m going] 2-1 to Arsenal.”
