Arsenal news: Les Ferdinand sends warning to Tottenham ahead of north London derby
TOTTENHAM have been told that form will go out of the window in Saturday’s north London derby against Arsenal.
Tottenham finished last season above Arsenal for the first time since 1995.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side have started this term stronger than the Gunners as well, sitting four points ahead of their rivals.
Les Ferdinand is one of many ex-players and pundits who believe Spurs are favourites for the clash at the Emirates.
However, after spending six years as a Tottenham player, he knows that means nothing coming into these games.
I think you’d have to make Tottenham favourites at the moment
“I think you’d have to make Spurs favourites at the moment,” Ferdinand told Sky Sports.
“But everyone knows when you go into a derby game, form goes out of the window.
“It’s what it means to the players.
“The atmosphere is always electric, it’s good.

“I’m looking forward to it, unfortunately I can’t go to this one. But I will be watching it on TV.”
Arsenal have only won one of their last seven meetings with Tottenham in all competitions.
However, Spurs have only managed one victory at the home of Arsenal in the Premier League since 1993.
