BBC football pundit Mark Lawrenson has tipped Tottenham Hotspur to knock rivals Arsenal out of the FA Cup this weekend.
Spurs travel to the Emirates on the back of a fantastic win at Manchester United on New Year’s Day and will be looking to get one over their most hated neighbours.
He told BBC Sport Online: With Olivier Giroud and Nicklas Bendtner injured, Arsenal are short up front – they only really have Lukas Podolski left to lead their attack.
“Tottenham are doing well under Tim Sherwood and picked up a great win over Manchester United on New Year’s Day.
“Yes, Spurs got lucky with a couple of decisions at Old Trafford but maybe the ball is bouncing in their favour at the moment.
“Sherwood’s side might need some more good fortune at The Emirates Stadium, and it will be very close, but I think they might just nick it.
“Lawro’s prediction: 1-2.”
