Ex-Spurs captain Mabbutt: Son return to form ideal for Arsenal clash

Former Tottenham captain Gary Mabbutt believes Heung-min Son could be key facing Arsenal on Saturday.

Son has been back amongst the goals for Spurs and South Korea over the past week.

Mabbutt told the club's website: “It's a massive game. Our results have been fantastic this season, our performances overall have been slightly below par, if anything, and I feel when we hit top form, we'll be a force to be reckoned with.

"This is a game where you should find that form. I'm confident we've got the squad to go there and get a fantastic result. As I said, I've a lot of friends who are Arsenal fans, and they are far more concerned about the game than me! We showed when we were up against it at Chelsea that we had a never-say-die attitude, then you've Sonny coming on against Leicester and the goals flowing.

"At the moment, we're getting to where we want to be, we're unbeaten in the league and, as far as I'm concerned, we look capable of putting in sustained challenges across all fronts this season."
