London, Oct 31 Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has said that his 6ft 7inch tall striker Peter Crouch is the key to eating Arsenal

Redknapp is hoping his Mr Unstoppable can put the brakes on Arsenal's title claims at the Emirates today.

The Tottenham boss cannot see the Gunners winning the title for the first time in five years despite their attacking football.

Redknapp wants Crouch to put a dent in their North London rivals' attempts to end their nightmare trophy less run that stretches back to 2005, The Sun reports.

"I don't think Arsenal will win the League this season. Of course they have a chance but Manchester United and Chelsea are better equipped - although I have been wrong a million times before," Redknapp said.

"Chelsea are powerful, they are men. You just feel they have that power. They will take some beating. Even the other night, Chelsea made loads of changes, they bring people in - and look at the people who came into the team - they're proper players, aren't they?"

Arsenal have been dropping crucial points by letting teams back into games they were dominating.

"I don't think Arsenal have a soft centre, I think it's maybe a little bit of a lack of experience still. It's still a young team, albeit a fantastic young team. But I just feel Chelsea and Man United have players who have been there and done it all and been the full course," Redknapp added.

Redknapp will play winger David Bentley ahead of Aaron Lennon on the right and wants the former England international to supply a stream of crosses.

"If we can get the right service to Crouch, then he is unplayable. We need to get quality crosses to him and he will ause Arsenal all kinds of big problems. Peter is just unstoppable," he said. (ANI)
