'Disastrous!' Jermaine Jenas changes Arsenal prediction and Tottenham fans will love it

Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jermaine Jenas has labelled Arsenal's start to the season as 'disastrous'.

The Gunners sit sixth in the Premier League table, nine points behind Leicester City who have jumped up to second tonight.

However, after heavy investment in the squad during the summer, many expected Unai Emery's side to be performing better.

The success of Brendan Rodgers at Leicester has only heaped the pressure on Emery at Arsenal, something which was intensified thanks to a 2-0 loss at the Foxes this evening.

Throw in the Granit Xhaka outburst which saw him stripped of the club captaincy and it's not been a low-key start to the season for Arsenal.

With that in mind, Jenas has described their start as 'disastrous' and insisted that he still thinks Tottenham will finish above them, despite sitting seven places below them in 12th.

"Originally I was Spurs and Arsenal (along with Liverpool and Man City)," Jenas said. But I think Arsenal’s season has been disastrous.

"Although they’re much higher in the table than Spurs, it’s just been more mayhem at that football club.

"And even the manager now seems to be under a lot of pressure, so I don’t think they’ll make it. I’ll replace them with Chelsea because I think what Frank’s (Lampard) got going there is solid. The players are top drawer."
