# Arsenal fans react as John Challis predicts a big win against Spurs

Only Fools and Horses actor and Arsenal supporter John Challis is predicting a big win for the Gunners in Sunday’s North London derby.

As reported by Sky Sports’ [Michael Bridge](https://twitter.com/MichaelBridge_), Challis gave his prediction ahead of the much-anticipated game and it’s fair to say he has gone big!

> I can’t see any other score than about 5-0 \[to Arsenal\] and that’s the half-time score.

Challis, clearly popular among the Arsenal fan base, delighted these supporters on social media with his big prediction.

> Twitter: @afcstuff @MichaelBridge\_ He’s a gooner? Wow, I like him even more now. ? (@afcRyan1)

> Twitter: @afcstuff @MichaelBridge\_ He knows everything!! What a king!!! (@benzibenzi45)

> Twitter: @afcstuff @MichaelBridge\_ What a legend? (@ftrfootball1)

### Read Arsenal verdict

While it was a little tongue-in-cheek from Challis, it is still great to see such optimism before a derby game.

It’s hard to predict how Tottenham will feel coming into the match. They haven’t enjoyed the best start to the new campaign, while they will also [be without](https://readarsenal.com/2019/08/30/these-spurs-fans-fear-the-worst-after-ndombele-fitness-update/) Tanguy Ndombele, who will sit out through injury.

With their big summer signing missing, can Spurs recover from a shock defeat to Newcastle? There’s no better game to get a reaction out of them, but Unai Emery will be hoping that their stuttering start to the campaign continues on Sunday afternoon.
