Arsenal title winner Paul Merson has attacked the players ahead of tomorrow's derby against Tottenham.

The Gunners head into the weekend in 14th place in the Premier League table, in stark contrast to rivals Spurs, who are top.

"Mikel Arteta is struggling because his go-to players haven't turned up this season and that is a big, big problem," Merson wrote in his Daily Star column.

"I don't see how my old club can beat Tottenham this weekend. They are too predictable and getting nothing from their stars.

"Willian has not got going at all, and is having a real nightmare. And Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been atrocious.

"What does he bring to the party? Absolutely nothing at the moment. You need big performances from your big players when things aren't going well. Arsenal aren't getting that. That's a dangerous thing.

"Has Aubameyang relaxed too much after signing his contract? Only he can answer that. But he's not earning his money."
