Gareth Bale tells Arsenal: I'll be out to stop you going top of the Premier League



Gareth Bale has warned Arsenal he will do all he can to stop them topping the Premier League table.

Time to celebrate: Gareth Bale netted twice against Blackburn

The Tottenham star is in the form of his life ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Gunners, with eight goals from 19 matches.



And Arsene Wenger's side will leapfrog Chelsea with a win at the Emirates but that's something the Welshman cannot contemplate - especially as a Spurs victory would propel them into the top five.

The White Hart Lane outfit have been plagued by Premier League inconsistency this season but Arsenal have suffered shock home defeats to West Brom and Newcastle, a fact not lost on Bale who insisted: 't will be a massive test obviously away at Arsenal but we’ll be ready for it.

'We need to win every game we play at the moment. We’re good enough to beat anybody and we’ve shown that in the past.'

Bale netted two goals in last weekend's 4-2 defeat of Blackburn and added: 'It was important we got that victory before the derby, just to get the winning feeling back after a recent poor run in the league.

'If we do get the first goal in matches, then we look quite comfortable. It was important to get ourselves kick-started again. The Champions League is coming around next week, so we want to build on that.

'It has been difficult for me recently when teams have had two players marking me.

'In a way I’ve got to try to find another way to get past them. I did that against Blackburn and I was delighted.

'There’s been a lot of stuff said about me - but I try to keep myself away from that.'
