Here are all the things you should be looking out for in today's North London Derby, as Emirates Stadium plays host to Arsenal vs Tottenham.
While Arsenal might have been through a horrid time recently, they only have their sights set on one game and one game only; the North London Derby. Today, Mikel Arteta hosts Ange Postecoglou.
All the disappointing performances recently would be forgotten about if Arsenal just turn up and beat Tottenham at home. It is the match which matters the most to every Arsenal fan.
So, to build the excitement ahead of this evening, here are three things you should look out for during the North London Derby.
Arsenal vs Tottenham: 3 things to look out for in the North London Derby
Who starts at right-wing?
Perhaps the main position which has hindered Arsenal the most this season is right-wing. Bukayo Saka kicked off the domino effect, with Ethan Nwaneri naturally falling too. In the last match, Gabriel Jesus went off injured, leaving a selection crisis.
While he wouldn't have started in usual circumstances, it looks likely that Raheem Sterling will start for Arsenal. It would be only his third start in the league this season, and what a match to start in.
Who starts at left-back?
Getting deja vu? Yeah, Arsenal have another concern here. Riccardo Calafiori suffered yet another muscle strain, meaning he is unlikely to play for Arsenal.
While the Italian is arguably the best option for the Gunners in this position, the left-back position is more adequately stocked for Mikel Arteta. Myles Lewis-Skelly is likely to play in this game, showing some incredible development since making his way into the starting lineup.
Will Arsenal actually finish their chances?
Arsenal's biggest flaw over the last few matches is that they have not finished their dinner. Mikel Arteta papered over the cracks by suggesting the Gunners "didn't get what they deserved," but the actual truth is that it's their own fault for not signing a striker.
Nevertheless, Kai Havertz has impressed against Tottenham in the past and even with our lack of a striker in recent history, we've still got a pretty impressive record against those down the road.
Anyway, if we can't score from open play... There's always corners to fall back on, right?
