In this weekend’s North London derby, Kieran Gibbs believes his previous team Arsenal will prevail and predicts a 3-1 victory for the Gunners over Tottenham Hotspur.
These matches, which are undoubtedly the most important game of the season, are marked on the calendars of every Tottenham and Arsenal supporter each year. Even though Derby Day is always a thrilling game, this early-season matchup has a little more significance.
After five league games, neither team has lost, indicating that both teams are off to excellent starts. It will be very interesting to see how the seasons of Ange Postecoglou and Mikel Arteta develop if either team wins on Sunday.
The Lilywhites are going through a very difficult transition with their new manager, while Arsenal is looking to capitalize on their second-place result from the previous season and establish themselves as legitimate title contenders.
In the NLD, Kieran Gibbs believes Arsenal will prevail.
Before this weekend’s big game, Gibbs expressed his confidence in his former team’s ability to defeat its fierce rivals in an interview with ESPN.
“To be honest, how I was feeling about Spurs with Harry Kane leaving, I was worried that the North London Derby would lose its excitement because I just didn’t fancy Spurs,” he remarked. However, I’m glad that they’ve got off to a good start because the weekend is looking well, but I think Arsenal will win.
“I reckon Tottenham are going to be brought down a few pegs this weekend. At the Emirates with the way it’s rocking at the moment, I’m going to go 3-1 Arsenal.”

Things never really go well for the away side in the North London derby, and Arsenal are very hard to beat at their place. I’m not getting my hopes up for this one, but Ange Postecoglou has got the players full of confidence and he will be very keen to prove a point about where his team are at this weekend.
