Arsenal hero Nigel Winterburn admits he's been impressed by Jose Mourinho's Tottenham.

The former Gooner has praised the North London rivals for making 'huge strides' in the build-up to Sunday's clash.

He told iNews: “As an Arsenal man, I'll never back Tottenham to win the league because I never want that to happen – but they have certainly made huge strides in recent seasons.

Arsenal were so far ahead of Spurs for a long time but the gap started to close under Mauricio Pochettino and is continuing now under Jose Mourinho.

“All the Arsenal supporters who I talk to obviously don't like that.

“But the saving grace is that no trophies are being won by Spurs right now. If that happened, it would be a nightmare."
