Paul Merson, a former football player, has mentioned that Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal team absolutely needs to secure a victory against Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur squad in their upcoming match at the Emirates Stadium, which is located in North London, in the Premier League that’s scheduled for this coming weekend.
The person from Sky Sports, who talks about football, thinks that for Arsenal to keep up with Manchester City and have a chance to grab the Premier League this season, they must win the game against Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby and get all three points.
Paul Merson’s Advice to Arsenal about Tottenham Hotspur
The former Arsenal star also pointed out that Mikel Arteta’s side cannot afford to lose against defending champions City.
Arsenal will play City at home in the league in October.
Arsenal, as we know, are in the fourth place in the Premier League right now. They have 13 points after playing five games. They are two points behind the team at the top, which is City. City won the Premier League, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League last season.
Merson told Sky Sports: “Arsenal haven’t been very good, winning four and drawing one. Nobody’s perfect, not even Manchester City. “Fulham had a chance against them, and West Ham had a chance the other day.
The team was leading 1-0, and Ederson made a world-class save. “But if Arsenal lose two big games, they can’t win the league, it’s that simple.
“If they lose to Tottenham and Man City, they will be out of the title race at the beginning of October.
“If Arsenal had won any of their games against Manchester City last season and had been in a dangerous situation in their home game in February, they would have won the league.”

Arsenal Should Not Worry if they Lose to Tottenham Hotspur
I don’t think there’s any need to panic about Arsenal not winning the Premier League title, even if they lose to Tottenham Hotspur or Manchester City.
The champion title will not be decided in October. No way. We still have a long way to go.
We know City when it comes to winning games. They are very good, even when they do not play the way we expect them to play. But sometimes, they also lose points. So, City might have a tough time at some point this season.
