Sunday, Arsenal hosts Tottenham as part of the 6th day of the Premier League. A North London Derby which promises to be tempting and electric between two convincing teams at the start of the season. If the Gunners showed that they were ready by humiliating PSV in the Champions League (4-0), in the middle of the week, the shock against Spurs is a meeting not to be missed for Mikel Arteta. According to him, there is nothing better than beating their London neighbor.
“Because you know what it means to people to have that opportunity in your work, to make someone happy. It’s a huge sense of fulfillment and responsibility that we feel. It is special. It’s a rivalry in the city, it’s special between the communities too and I really like that. It’s intense. I think (winning the derby) builds something even bigger with your supporters. It’s a game that’s on the calendar and you’re always watching and wondering, ‘when do we play this game?’says the Spanish coach who hopes to take the 3 points against Ange Postecoglou, astonishing with his team this season, like James Maddison named player of the month for August.
