da betobet： Paul Merson has tipped Arsenal to easily beat Tottenham Hostpur in the north-London derby this weekend.
What he said
It was a difficult third matchday for both teams. Arsenal lost their first game of the season against Liverpool in an encounter during which they easily came out second-best, whilst Tottenham were surprisingly beaten 1-0 at home by Newcastle United.
With the Anfield outfit and Manchester City once again ahead of the rest of the top six, it looks like the Gunners and Spurs will be involved in the fight for the top four.
And Merson believes that Unai Emery’s men will easily overcome Mauricio Pochettino and co this weekend. He said on Sky Sports’ The Debate (via Metro) on Monday:
“They [Tottenham] were ripped at Man City.
“Okay they got a draw, but there are ways of getting draws, Man City had 30 shots.
“I think their confidence is shot as well. I watched them the other day against Newcastle, it was slow, they were 1-0 down and they were slow.
“I think Arsenal should expect to win this game, which is unreal, really. Tottenham will be well pleased with a draw, well pleased.
“I think Arsenal will win quite comfortably, 4-1. I think they will rip them to shreds.”

Won’t be that easy
Whilst Spurs were disappointing against the Toon and should not be losing those kind of games, especially at home, to say that Arsenal will win 4-1 is a bit of a stretch.
After all, there is an abundance of quality in the Tottenham squad, and with Heung-Min Son now having returned from suspension, they have one of their most influential players back in the side.
There is nothing to indicate that Arsenal should be that confident either. They defended poorly against the Reds and did not create much throughout the match. David Luiz failed to cover himself in glory after conceding a penalty and allowing Mohamed Salah through on goal, and will have his work cut out to stop the likes of Son, Harry Kane, Lucas Moura and Giovani Lo Celso at the Emirates Stadium.
Only once since 2012 has either team scored score four or more in this fixture and although that was last season, the two sides look relatively evenly matched heading into the weekend.
