Wenger warning for Spurs
30 Nov 2006 - 16:13:56
Arsene Wenger has warned local rivals Tottenham that his Arsenal side will beat them ahead of Saturday's first ever north London derby at the Emirates Stadium.
The Frenchman is still seething over the fixture congestion that will see the Gunners take on Spurs and Chelsea in the Premiership alongside Porto in a vital Champions League clash inside eight days.
But after the Gunners suffered their second successive league defeat at Fulham on Wednesday evening, Wenger is predicting a backlash at the weekend.
"We have a difficult game coming up against Tottenham, and I do not agree at all with the way the fixtures have been organised - it is a farce," he said.
"I cannot understand how the Premier League can organise midweek fixtures in between Champions League games.
"We play now against opponents who did not play this week - but we will beat them."
