ARSENAL will be in big trouble if they shirk their defensive duties against Tottenham’s front four.
I think Jose Mourinho has the most potent attacking force in Europe right now.

Mikel Arteta favours playing out from the back, like Manchester City but I don’t think he has the players to pull it off.
The Gunners got caught out against Olympiacos and Burnley doing that.
Recently Mourinho has employed Gareth Bale, Son Heung-min, Harry Kane and Lucas Moura in what is effectively a 4-2-4 and they all have a very good press.

This attack thrashed Burnley and Crystal Palace, scoring eight goals. So Arteta’s defenders have to do two things: communicate and not allow themselves to be dragged out of position.
It is vital they talk to one another.
Arteta has good defenders but I’m not convinced there is a communicator among them.
Kane will drop into the No 10 role and, as a centre-back, you can’t be tempted to follow him because that leaves space behind.

For me, Kane is the dream centre-forward.
He has five goals in his last four games, while also providing two assists.
And I reckon Spurs’ talisman can do it against Arsenal to bag the North London bragging rights.
