Jamie Redknapp makes Arsenal and Tottenham admission amid title challenge claims

Jamie Redknapp has admitted that Tottenham's north London rivals Arsenal are 'better to watch' so far this season as the two sides eye a Premier League title charge.

The Gunners currently lead the way in the Premier League having won eight of their opening nine games and travel to Elland Road hoping to extend the gap at the top. Spurs sit level with Manchester City one point behind their north London rivals having beaten Everton by 2-0 thanks to goals from Harry Kane and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

Mikel Arteta's side have been commended for their start to the season, with star man Gabriel Jesus benefitting from the service provided to him by the likes of Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.

With Arsenal emerging triumphant in this season's earlier meeting between the two sides, its the red half of north London that Redknapp has singled out for praise.

''Like you said at the start, Spurs can go a point behind them and put the pressure on them, put a bit of pressure on them [Arsenal]," Redknapp told Sky Sports ahead of Spurs' win against Everton.

''They've done it a different way, there is a totally different style to them compared to what Arsenal are doing. Right now they are a little bit more free-flowing and a bit more enjoyable to watch, but Tottenham have done a really good job.''

The Gunners will hope to extend their lead at the top once again to four points prior to Manchester City's clash with Liverpool.
