Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur will lock horns with each other in the Premier League on Sunday.

The match will be held at the Emirates Stadium.

BBC Sport pundit Robbie Savage has backed Arsenal to pick up all three points from the encounter against Tottenham.

The former Derby County star has predicted the Gunners to win 2-1.

The pundit has also backed Gabriel Jesus to score if he starts against Spurs.

The £265,000-a-week (Spotrac) Brazil international striker has recovered from his injury issues and is back in form for Arsenal.

“Two teams in fine form. Expressive, expansive football, the way Spurs are playing. Much anticipated North London derby but I just think, being at the Emirates…

“Spurs have won one Premier League game away at Arsenal in their last 30, whether that’s at the Emirates or the old Highbury.

“I think it will be a tough game, it’s a tough one to call.

“I think both teams will score, Gabriel Jesus, if he gets a start, will get on the scoresheet.

“You’ve got to look at Kulusevski. Two fantastic players. Both teams to score, I’m going Arsenal 2-1.”

Gabriel Jesus could score for Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur

In our view, Gabriel Jesus could score for Arsenal against Tottenham Hotspur.

The Brazilian is playing well at the moment and is scoring goals.

We believe that the former Manchester City striker could weave his magic against Spurs and find the back of the net in the North London derby.

Jesus takes up good positions in and around the penalty box and is clever with his movement.

The striker has made 188 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.

Jesus has scored 70 goals and given 35 assists in those games.
