Arsenal players do not know some of the new spurs players so .there is an unknown factor mentally!

i predict 3-2 spurs.
seriously though, anything could happen. remember, the worst team in the league held chelsea (the best team in the league at the moment, sorry liverpool fans) to a draw earlier this season.
