David Seaman is hoping Arsenal can take advantage of Tottenham’s injury woes to catch up with their rivals in the Premier League table.
Spurs have suffered a nightmare run of injuries with both Harry Kane and Dele Alli sidelines in their last two games.
The England duo have been ruled out until March, joining Moussa Sissoko and Victor Wanyama on the sidelines.
Mauricio Pochettino is also without in-form winger Heung-Min Son, who is on international duty at the Asian Cup and who could be unavailable until February should South Korea make the final.
And Seaman hopes Arsenal – seven points behind their north London rivals in the league – can take advantage of Spurs’ depleted resources and stake their claim for the top four.
The former goalkeeper, though, admits he’s also keeping one eye on revitalised Manchester United…
“It’s really hard to recover from losing players of that quality, and that many players,” the Gunners legend said on Wednesday’s Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.
“So I hope Arsenal can catch them.
“But, I’m still really afraid of Manchester United because of the confidence they’ve got under Solskjaer.”
