| Mesut Ozil against Bayern Munich |
Who will have the bragging rights? Arsenal lost heavily to Bayern Munich on Wednesday. They were outclassed throughout the contest by an efficient Bayern side. The problem might have been the way Arsene Wenger set out his team. Defend and get them on the break.
The defending was sometimes laughable as Arsenal conceded goal after goal.
But Arsenal always bounces back. After they were humiliated by Olympiakos there next game was against Manchester United and you know what happened.
The other week they were outclassed by Sheffield Wednesday but they responded with a convincing performance against Swansea.
Tottenham for their part they started the league slowly bu recently they have been on a good run.
Harry Kane has found his scoring boots and the team is playing well. They had a scare on Thursday against Anderlecht but Mousa Dembele came to their rescue.
They have only lost one game in the league, same as Leicester. That is quite an achievement considering the defending champions Chelsea have already lost Six games in 12 games.
I expect the game to be open and full of attacking. Tottenham love to press up the field so I expect arsenal passes to be faster so as to avoid losing the ball in dangerous positions.
Injuries have started taking their toll on Arsenal. Against Bayern they had 10 players
unavailable.
