      Bacary Sagna reveals what Arsenal need to do to beat Man City for Prem title ahead of North London derby vs Tottenham

      by

      ANYTHING other than victory for Arsenal against “direct opposition”, such as Tottenham, could scupper their Premier League title chances, reckons Bacary Sagna.Sagna joined the Gunners from Auxerre in 2007 where he amassed a total of 284 appearances and won the 2014 FA Cup during his seven-year stint at the Emirates.

      Now the North Londoners have launched a surprise title bid as they sit top of the table with Manchester City – another former club of the ex-right-back – five points behind.
      The former France international is confident Mikel Arteta’s in-form side will beat all of their non-title rivals.
      But the 39-year-old insists a draw against a fellow top-six side and the revived Newcastle, who are currently third, won’t be enough to guarantee the title.
      Sagna is adamant Arsenal must beat rivals Tottenham away this Sunday to make a strong statement.

      The Frenchman even went as far as to claim that victory against Spurs and Manchester United this month as well as City in February could guarantee them their first title since 2004.
      Speaking to Lord Ping, Sagna said: “Arsenal need to beat their direct opposition – they need to beat the biggest teams in the league including Manchester City. I’m not worried about the other games that Arsenal have, they will win those.
      “The real challenge for Arsenal is to win against their title rivals. If they manage to win the home game against Man City, then that will put them in a great position to win the title, but they need to win their games before that to keep leading the pack starting with Tottenham on Sunday.
      “I think it’s a tricky one to say with certainty who will win the league. I am very curious to see how Arsenal perform against Tottenham in the derby.
      Most read in Football
      “This is a really important period for Arsenal. If they manage to come through it, winning all of their next games against Tottenham, Manchester United and then City in February, they will surely be crowned champions at the end of the season.
      “I am also interested in seeing how the team and the fans will react if they were to lose against Tottenham because Arsenal’s season bar a defeat at Old Trafford, which they were the better team, has been almost perfect so far.”
      Sagna knows exactly the level of opposition Arsenal can expect from City, as he spent three years at the Etihad after leaving north London in 2014.
      The Frenchman loved the family atmosphere at the Gunners but still remembers how competitive the Citizens have been, especially under manager Pep Guardiola.

      Sagna added: “Arsenal was a family club. It was like a childhood club where you were with your friends, that kind of vibe. I knew everything about my teammates at Arsenal; their families, their life off the pitch, the struggles that they had.
      “When I arrived at City, I found a different environment which was not familiar to me because I didn’t really know anyone there. When I first walked into the dressing room at City, I don’t want to say the players were shy, but they didn’t say much. There was total respect between the players, but it was different to Arsenal.
      “The atmosphere did change and, over time, it got better for me, but it was very strange for me to walk into a dressing room and not hug the players, like I did at Arsenal. When I first arrived at City, the other players would come in and say “good morning”, it wasn’t as familiar.
      “It was just a bit different. I needed time to adapt and then I found my way. I realised that some of the players were a little bit shy or preferred to speak in private – I had to go to them.
      “I was starting again from zero and you need to earn the trust of the other players. When you play in a club where there are only international players, there can be a competition that can create tension because everyone is competing for a place in the team, but slowly that goes away and the vibe between the group becomes stronger.”
      However, Sagna is confident of Arsenal’s chances after noticing how the club took a new direction that is reminiscent of its glory years.
      The former defender was particularly happy to see legendary manager Arsene Wenger finally back at the Emirates last month for the first time since his exit in 2018.

      Sagna said: “That felt good. He belongs to Arsenal. He belongs to the club. I can understand how difficult it would have been for him to go back to The Emirates, especially after how he left.
      “It was probably hard for him to leave his baby and he found the courage to come back, which can only be good for the club and for himself.”

      He was an unused substitute in the Seagulls’ 4-1 Premier League victory over Everton at Goodison Park.
      And Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi then omitted him from his squad altogether for their 5-1 win against Middlesbrough in the FA Cup last weekend, with the head coach citing a calf problem.
      Now the Brighton boss has confirmed he will be absent against Jurgen Klopp’s men this weekend.
      In his pre-match press conference, De Zerbi said: “Leandro Trossard isn’t on the list for next game.

      “The last session before [the] last game, when he understood he wasn’t playing, he left the session without telling me anything.
      “I told him I don’t like this attitude.”
      Trossard has contributed 25 goals and 14 assists in 121 appearances for Brighton since arriving from Genk for £15million in 2019.
      His contract expires in the summer, although the club are understood to have the option of a 12-month extension.

      Spurs have been linked with the Belgium international for some time as they bid to bolster their squad in an attempt to secure a top four place.
      After dropping him for the win over Everton, De Zerbi said: “Trossard is a good player but I want him at 100% of his possibilities.
      “I don’t know if after the World Cup he is suffering from something but I didn’t see him at his maximum.

      “I don’t know [if it is physical or mental] but I am a coach.
      “To play with the best first XI is possible and for the moment I didn’t see him in the best condition to play.”
      Brighton are currently flying high in eighth in the Premier League table.
      They will leapfrog Liverpool into seventh with a win on Saturday afternoon. More

      Inter are believed to be keen to keep hold of the 27-year-old after they resisted heavy interest from PSG to sell him last summer.
      His current contract expires at the end of the season and the club and player are set to have a meeting on Friday to discuss terms again.

      Inter are willing to double his salary to £5.3million-per-year.
      And there has been pressure on him to sign a new contract from the club’s fans as the supporters have waved banners demanding that he “stay in Milan”.
      As he is in the last six months of his deal then he is free to discuss a pre-contract agreement with other clubs.
      And, as per the report, PSG has an offer of closer to £8m waiting for him.

      Tottenham’s transfer bid for £40m-rated Sporting star Pedro Porro could be sabotaged by two players in their squad

      TOTTENHAM’S bid to sign Sporting Lisbon star Pedro Porro could be sabotaged by two of Spurs’ own players, according to reports.The club appear keen to bring in the wing-back and are reportedly preparing a bid worth near to his £37million release clause.

      However, the signing of the right-sided player could provide manager Antonio Conte with a major headache.
      Spurs still have Emerson and Matt Doherty and with both in the squad there could be no space for Porro.
      Emerson has previously attracted interest from Atletico Madrid and Roma, although the player is happy in North London, report the Evening Standard.
      The Brazilian has not started a game for Spurs since the World Cup break with Doherty being selected ahead of him.

      Therefore, Conte is unlikely to want to offload the Irishman.
      Tottenham also have a third option for the right-wing-back position, Djed Spence, who they signed for £20m from Middlesbrough in the summer.
      The 22-year-old has not started a league match for the club since his switch and he could reportedly leave on loan with Wolves keen.
      If Tottenham want to seal the deal for Porro they could have to move quickly with Chelsea also monitoring him.

      Tottenham’s Ben Davies praises Arsenal for sticking by Mikel Arteta – and says rivals’ season is motivating his side

      by

      TOTTENHAM defender Ben Davies has praised Arsenal for sticking by Mikel Arteta during the tough times – and says their rivals’ stellar season has been motivating Spurs.Arteta has guided the Gunners to the top of the table, having dropped just SEVEN points from their 17 league games so far.

      But it was not always such plain sailing, particularly at the start of last season when a hat-trick of league defeats put Arsenal bottom of the Premier League, prompting some fans to call for Arteta’s head.
      Arch-rivals Spurs will hope to inflict a second league defeat of the campaign on the Spaniard’s side when they host the North London derby on Sunday.
      But Tottenham left-back Davies confessed to being impressed with the patience shown by the Gunners board.
      The Welshman said: “Clearly, what Arteta has done there has been very good.

      “But I’m sure there were very tough times for him as well when things weren’t going their way. 
      “So credit to the club for sticking by him, it seems to be paying dividends.”
      While Arsenal have been almost flawless this season, Spurs have been up and down.

      They are fifth in the league and through to the knockout stages of the Champions League, but performances have been found wanting at times.

      On watching their neighbours shine, Davies added: “It’s just extra motivation for us. They’re playing well. 
      “They look like a very good side at the moment. 
      “They’re giving every team they play against tough games but we just want to focus on ourselves right now and hopefully at the end of the season we’re there or thereabouts.”
      Spurs go into the powder-keg fixture 11 points off Arsenal, having played a game more.
      A victory for the white side of North London would be a huge boost to their top-four prospects.
      They have had a free week to prepare for the game too which has been a rarity this term.

      Antonio Conte’s men benefitted from there regularly being seven days between games in the second half of last season.
      It led to them pipping Arsenal to fourth despite being four points behind them with three games to go.
      Davies claimed the extra time to work is crucial because it gives Conte a chance to work his magic in training.
      The 29-year-old explained: “When we do have the time on the training pitch, we have a world-class manager who can really whip us into shape when we have that time. 
      “Whenever you have time on the training pitch, your ideas will become more clear. 
      “You’ll become probably technically better knowing this is our plan going into the game. 
      “It’s more about the time that we get and we know that in football now, with games every three days, it’s not always easy to do that.”
      The next few weeks could go a long way to defining Tottenham’s season.

      Davies commented: “When you play against the big teams you can look at it in two ways.
      “You can either look at it as being tough or as an opportunity to bounce up the table and that’s the way we want to see it.” More
