CHARLIE NICHOLAS believes Harry Kane will “fancy his chances” against Per Mertesacker in the north London derby on Sunday after a poor display against Bayern Munich last night.
The German defender was part of the Arsenal defence which conceded five to Pep Guardiola’s side.
The Gunners have a number of injury concerns ahead of the derby especially in defence with Hector Bellerin and Laurent Koscielny both major doubts.
While for Spurs, Harry Kane has re-discovered his goalscoring touch with four goals in two games.
And Nicholas feels the England forward could cause Mertesacker major problems.
“Mertesacker was awful [at Bayern]," he told Sky Sports.
“I worry about him for the weekend.

“Normally Mertesacker and Koscielny would be your two experienced guys, and Gabriel also didn't defend well in Munich.
“I take you back to the Capital One Cup when Mertesacker played [in a 3-0 defeat] at Sheffield Wednesday: people can get at him.
“Harry Kane, if he's fit and ready, will fancy his chances this weekend of getting at Mertesacker.
“If Bellerin is not fit there's another weakness there, because Mathieu Debuchy's been pretty poor to say the least. So there are problems there.”
