Merson: Son's absence is a huge loss for Tottenham and I think Arsenal will win

Live bar January 14 news Beijing time next Monday morning In the 22nd round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur will sit at home to meet Arsenal. Before this match, England football star Paul Merson expressed his opinion on the game.

Merson told Sky Sports: "It's a very important game. In the process of competing for the top four, Spurs have played two games less than Arsenal, and if they beat Arsenal, they will overtake their opponents on points and also hold two games. In such a situation, the situation will be very favorable to them. ”

"However, if Arsenal can win, the outcome of such a game will be very important. You'd say Arsenal have improved even more this season, with them still in the bottom of the league before heading into their first international matchday. Today, however, they can compete for the top four positions. For Arteta and his team, they have changed the situation dramatically, but they need to move on. ”

"As for Conte and his Tottenham Hotspur, I think the first leg of the League Cup defeat to Chelsea was a good result. It may sound silly, but such a result could wake up Tottenham management and let them know that there is still a very big gap between them and the top teams. ”

"They may think they're doing well because they have a very good manager who leads the team to win consistently. In such cases, they may feel that they do not need to bring in players. However, Chelsea beat them with ease and they struggled with Mokham at the fab cup finale. Now, they are considering whether they have to bring in players. ”

"Arsenal and Tottenham are now on par and they are both trying to make themselves top teams. For Tottenham, Son's absence is a huge loss. So I think Arsenal will beat Tottenham away. In recent seasons, Son has been Arsenal's Achilles heel. ”
