Tottenham also have much to play for in the north London derby as they still have aspirations of beating Aston Villa to the final top-four spot and will be desperate to dent their rivals’ title bid.
Old Trafford legend Keane expects that to happen, insisting he ‘does not see’ Arsenal winning at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

‘I think Spurs will get a result. I think it will be 1-1 or 2-1 to Spurs,’ he said on The Overlap.
‘I don’t see Arsenal winning there. I think it could be a mad game and Spurs could turn up. I’m going 2-1 Spurs.’
While Mikel Arteta’s side thrashed London rivals Chelsea 5-0 in their last outing, Tottenham’s last result was a humbling 4-0 defeat to Newcastle over two weeks ago.
Gunners legend Paul Merson, meanwhile, is ‘very bullish’ about his former club’s chances and believes they will prove too strong for Spurs.
‘Tottenham have been superb at home this season but if you look at their last ten results – they’ve faced nine bottom half teams,’ he told Sportskeeda.
‘Manchester City were the only top-half team they faced in that period and they lost that game, so I can’t see them getting anything out of this one.

‘Arsenal are just a better football team, so I’m very bullish on this one. I’ll be shocked if the Gunners don’t win this one as Spurs can’t beat Arsenal at their own game.
‘When Arsenal lost to Aston Villa, they changed their team around by moving Kai Havertz into a midfield role to accommodate Gabriel Jesus, a move which ultimately backfired.
‘In recent weeks, they’ve gone back to Havertz up front with Thomas Partey, Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard in midfield – that is the team they must retain for the rest of the season! I’m going for 3-1 to Arsenal.’
