Arsenal legend Charlie Nicholas is tipping his former club to topple Spurs on Sunday.

The first North London derby of the season will take place at the Emirates.

And Nicholas thinks Unai Emery's side have the better balance over their fierce rivals.

"It comes down to class, a bit of genius, luck… it might come down to VAR!" Nicholas said.

"What we're blessed with in this north London derby is we've got goalscorers on both sides, we've got creative players on both sides, we've got mistakes defensively.

"I just feel that Unai Emery has got something going at Arsenal, there's a little more belief. I wasn't happy with the performance at Arsenal but they lost not like they did before. There seemed a bit more togetherness.

"Other than silly defensive errors I just think Arsenal have more quality than Spurs do and I think their bench might be stronger.

"It's about quality, creativity, speed and then getting the balance right. I think Arsenal slightly have the best balance right now and that's why I expect the Gunners to win."
