Paul Merson insists the Premier League title is 'Arsenal's to throw away' after winning the north London derby - and 'doesn't see the Gunners being stopped' if they beat Man United at the Emirates next Sunday

Paul Merson believes the Premier League title is 'Arsenal's to throw away' after the Gunners beat Tottenham 2-0 in the north London derby on Sunday.

An own goal from Hugo Lloris and a long-range strike from Martin Odegaard handed Mikel Arteta's side a vital victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as Arsenal carved out a eight point lead at the summit of the table.

The Gunners have a crucial clash at the Emirates next Sunday against Manchester United, who are nine points behind them in fourth spot behind Manchester City and Newcastle.
