“Arsenal have made some very good attacking signings with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan but they have not strengthened defensively,” Lawro told BBC Sport.
“Yes, the Gunners brushed Everton aside very easily last week, and they were great to watch.
“But Tottenham will be much tougher to break down and, at the same time, they can do some damage at the other end of the pitch too.”
Arsenal star playmaker Mesut Ozil is expected to start this weekend after playing a starring role against Everton. The 29-year-old recently penned a three-year deal with the north London based club.
