'If they win that, I'll have a Tottenham tattoo!' - Arsenal legend Paul Merson makes crazy bet ahead of Spurs' clash with Man City, with Gunners needing a favour

City went top of the Premier League on Saturday after thrashing Fulham 4-0, only for Arsenal to leapfrog them again after beating Manchester United 1-0 on Sunday. The Gunners have one match left but Pep Guardiola's men have a game in hand, a trip to Tottenham in midweek. Ahead of that clash, Merson made a wild bet, insisting that Spurs have little chance of getting a result that would essentially hand the title to their bitter rivals.

He said on Sky Sports: "Arsenal are probably going to finish second. If you're relying on Tottenham to win or draw a football match... yeah... no. If they win that, I will have a Tottenham tattoo. I will. I'll put it where you can't see it!"

Arsenal are looking to win their first Premier League title since 2004 whereas City are aiming to win a fourth straight crown. For the former to come out on top, they will need Guardiola's side to slip up but whether that happens remains to be seen.

City finish off their league season away to Tottenham on Tuesday, before hosting West Ham next Sunday. Arsenal, on the other hand, host Everton on the same day - looking to pip their rivals to the trophy.
