ARSENAL midfielder Cesc Fabregas has joked that Harry Redknapp's Tottenham would struggle to beat the club's ladies' side ahead of the teams' derby clash this evening.
The 21-year-old Spaniard will have riled tonight's visitors after telling lads mag Loaded that Spurs would struggle to earn a draw against the Gunners' all-conquering ladies.
He said: “They would do really well. I’m sure they would get a point!”
If Redknapp's side needed any added motivation heading into the game at the Emirates, Fabregas provided it.
The former Portsmouth boss is looking for the team's first back-to-back wins of the season, while Arsene Wenger's side are aiming for their fourth successive victory in all competitions.
