Arsene Wenger believes his side will play with no fear but believes they must work hard to nullify Tottenham's attacking threats. The Exploding Heads give their unique analysis of the North London derby as played on FIFA 18.

Wenger said he was too busy to read "Brave New World," in which Pochettino and his backroom staff reveal some of the methods that have helped Spurs become title challengers.
And he added that he would wait until retiring as a manager before he considered writing a book of his own.

"Look, I have nothing against it [learning from others] -- I am open-minded to it. But I have not much time available in my schedule."
Wenger may have enough material for half-a-dozen books after spending 21 years in charge of the Gunners, but he said: "I don't like to talk [and] not to tell the truth. And as long as you work, you cannot tell really what's going on.
"So if it's just to sell a book, I have no interest. If it's to tell really what I think about the game and what I think about some aspects of our game, I will do it. But at the moment it's impossible."
