Sky Sports pundit Stephen Warnock has made a huge claim ahead of the North London Derby this weekend.
Scared yet Spurs fans? It’s North London Derby week – which means there’s so much more than three points at stake.
This season is set to be one of the tastiest in recent times. Both sides are in electric form and a whole host of superstars will be taking to the pitch in order to fight for pride and honour.
It’s also Ange Postecoglou‘s first-ever taste of the fixture. he’ll be desperate to get a result and continue Spurs’ unbeaten start to the season.
Warnock makes NLD claim
Someone who thinks they’ll do just that is Sky Sports pundit Stephen Warnock.
Speaking on Sky Sports News ahead of the big game, Warnock made a claim that will excite fans coming up to Sunday.
He said: “I do actually think they’re capable of beating Arsenal.”
This is huge for Spurs, as this certainly wouldn’t have been the case at the start of the year. The club almost seems to have made a huge U-turn, which has changed the opinions of everyone this season. Of course – we’re all here for it.
Warnock on ‘Angeball’
In the same clip, Warnock also spoke about how Postecoglou’s style of play has benefitted Spurs.
“It’s a style of football I would say, I wouldn’t say it’s open and expansive – but I’d say it’s efficient,” he began. “I’d say it’s pleasing on the eye and you want to watch it.
“It’s the type of football where he understands how to hurt opposition players, which sounds really simple, but it’s not.
“It’s putting players in positions on the pitch where they know they can affect the game and that’s what you’ve got to do.”
The Aussie has transformed Spurs. We’re now playing superb football for the first time in a long time. Long may it continue.
