Peter Crouch names 2 Tottenham stars who could cause problems for Arsenal in the North London Derby
Peter Crouch has named Tottenham Hotspur attackers Son Heung-Min and Timo Werner as Arsenal's two biggest threats ahead of the north London derby.
The Gunners - who are atop the Premier League after 34 games - travel to fifth-placed Tottenham on Sunday (April 28) as they seek their first league title in two decades.
Ahead of the season's second north London derby, Crouch provided a preview of the upcoming clash (Daily Star):
"At home you know they're more than capable and they've got players to do it," he said. Do I think they will? I'm not so sure - Arsenal might just get the job done but Tottenham are more than capable of getting a result on their day.
About the two Spurs threats, he added:
"No one came out of the Newcastle game with any glory at all. I thought it was a really, really poor performance. Obviously, Son Heung-min and Timo Werner are key players for Spurs."
Son, 31, has been one of the standout performers for Ange Postecoglou's side this season, contributing 15 goals and nine assists in 30 games across competitions. All the goal contributions have come in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, the on-loan Werner, 28, has two goals and three assists in 12 games across competitions for Spurs since arriving in January.
What happened when Arsenal played Tottenham Hotspur earlier this season?
Arsenal are in the midst of a superb season. Despite falling early in both domestic competitions, the Gunners made the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, where they lost 3-2 on aggregate to Bayern Munich.
Mikel Arteta's side (77) lead the Premier League by two points over Liverpool - who hve played a game more. Earlier this season, the Gunners were involved in rousing 2-2 Premier League home draw with Tottenham Hotspur.
After Martin Odegaaard fired the Gunners into the lead inside 18 mintues, Son replied for Spurs. The hosts were back in fron through Bukayo Saka, but Son equalised inside a minute for Spurs to force a share of the spoils.
