Dele Alli sends out warning to Arsenal ahead of North London derby

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli has insisted that his side are confident of picking up a rare away victory against Arsenal in Sunday's North London derby.

The Lilywhites have won only one of their last 25 top-flight games away to the Gunners, drawing 10 and losing 14 of those.

That solitary success came by a 3-2 scoreline in 2010, but Spurs head into the contest sitting three points better off than their near neighbours.

Alli, who has played a key part in Tottenham's six-match winning run in all competitions, says that his side have belief that they can beat any team in the division.

"Coming up against the big teams, you want to impress and show how good you are, play in the big games and test yourself against the world's best players," he told The Mirror.

"Everyone in the Premier League has ability, but, when you come up against the top sides, a lot of it is who wants it more, works harder and, ­mentally, who is stronger."

"We are in good form and playing well. Arsenal are in good form and have some top players – but we have this feeling now, at ­Tottenham, that we can beat anyone."

Alli has scored one and set up two more in Tottenham's two most recent outings, wins over Chelsea and Inter Milan.
