Former Tottenham player predicts 'lots of goals' in North London derby

Former Tottenham player predicts 'lots of goals' in North London derbyGetty

Sunday's North London derby is the biggest match on the Premier League's fixture list this weekend, with high expectations for both Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.

The rivals are embroiled in their own races as the season winds down — Arsenal are battling for the league title while Tottenham are hoping to leapfrog Aston Villa for fourth place and the Champions League berth that comes with it.

But while the teams are not in direct competition in their broader goals for the end of the campaign, that doesn't mean the rivalry will be muted when they face off. 

In fact, a former Spurs player believes the game will take on more importance than usual given the various stakes at hand, with both teams giving it their best.

Speaking to Betfred, former Tottenham and England goalkeeper Paul Robinson said he's looking forward to a wide-open game on Sunday.

“Goals, lots of goals," Robinson said of what he's expecting from the derby match. "Arsenal have got a great defensive record, but Spurs are really good going forward.

"I think it’s going to be a really entertaining game and the fact that Tottenham have got the chance to stop Arsenal winning the title is a huge incentive. Spurs are unpredictable at the moment and they’ve been so up and down of late, so I believe it will be an entertaining draw.”
