Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards has backed Arsenal to overcome Tottenham Hotspur in next week's vital north London derby.
The Gunners currently find themselves fourth in the Premier League standings, two points clear of Antonio Conte 's men, who they will face at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next Thursday. The corresponding fixture at the Emirates Stadium ended up 3-1 to the home side - although it was Nuno Espirito Santo in Spurs' managerial dugout and not the serial winner that is Conte.
Now, former England international Richards has claimed that he thinks Mikel Arteta and Co will come out on top, tipping Arsenal to overcome the Lillywhites. "Arsenal. I’m saying Arsenal," he told The Monday Night Club when asked who he was backing.
