"Spurs have got nothing to lose now, and when you've got nothing to lose, the handbrake comes off and you can feel liberated by that, he tells FourFourTwo on behalf of Paddy Power. It's a bit like a wounded animal. I'm not saying Spurs are a wounded animal but, you know, they've got nothing to lose because everybody is expecting an Arsenal win."
"Anything can happen, he says. Spurs could score a wonder strike, there could be another mazy run from a defender like we recently saw with Micky van de Ven, or a shot from range that deflects in. Many fans are expecting an Arsenal win in the North London Derby this weekend (Image credit: Getty Images) Big derbies, and this is a massive derby, can be unpredictable. That's the thing now, Spurs are coming into this one as underdogs and there's nothing to lose."
Sol Campbell played for both Arsenal and Tottenham and understands the intense rivalry of the North London Derby. Campbell argues Spurs approach the match with freedom because they have nothing to lose, which can liberate their play and make them unpredictable. Arsenal arrive as Premier League leaders and favourites after a consistent start to the campaign. Tottenham have been inconsistent under Thomas Frank, hampered by injuries and new leadership. Campbell warns that big derbies are volatile and that Spurs can produce moments like wonder strikes, mazy runs, or deflected long-range shots, making the outcome uncertain.
