Win Premier League: Arsenal 3 - 1 Tottenham Hotspurs | Saturday 1st, October | KO: 12:30 | BT Sport

This is really massive. A win is a must imo. These sort of games, performance usually matters. It's the results that matter.

Arteta will have to learn from his mistakes at Old Trafford. We know the sort of threat Sp**s carry. Their midfield is dogshit. They have Royal, Sanchez, Dier and Sessengnon in their back five.

They'll put 10 men behind the ball and wait for a chink to appear in our amour and they'll exploit it ruthlessly and Son has just come back to form right in time for the derby.

We should have all our players back for this (save for Elneny) barring an injuries in the international break.

Lineup

I think it will be the same lineup vs Brentford tbh.

Prediction
Arsenal 2-0 Sp**s

 

[Diesel]

2nd test. Have to show up and do the job. **** this team up.

 

[MikeVinna]

Real test here. Threw away Champions League football at their ground last season and made the same mistakes at Old Trafford. We’re at home so we should do well but interested to see if we fall into the same trap.

[RunTheTrap]

I can’t lie, I’m dreading this game. We usually don’t play well after International breaks.

 

[quattro]

we haven't lost to sp*rs at home in 12 years. and no, we didn't lose the CL place at their place, we lost it against southampton at home.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

My worry is not Sp**s now my worry is if Partey going to be fit and we escape this international break without injures.

I expect us to win but you never know in NLD last few years there no draws the home team always win convincingly lol.

 

[boonthegoon]

We should win this easily at home. No arguments about that. Badly want a thrashing.

 

[Fabregasm]

I'm having the bad feeling the ref is gonna screw us over, sending off for some soft tackle, wrongly disallowed VAR goal or ref gifting them a goal by not checking VAR.

Really anxious over this.

Bad memories from last season, we were playing well till the Ref decides to f*** us over

 

[SA Gunner]

They are a dangerous team, and are clearly better than last year, but we are just the better rounded side.

Control the ball well, execute our plans to stop them from being effective into place, have the crowd behind the boys and we will win this one. We are very strong at home and it will be on show this Saturday.

Arsenal 2-0 Sp**s.

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

Very excited for this.. We need to win to keep our momentum going and to get some distance between us and Sp**s.

I've seen them vs. Leicester, they are terrible on the ball but execute their gameplan perfectly. We need to be assertive and be very alert if we lose the ball, close them down quickly.

Otherwise it could be us vs. United all over again.

I mean Holdings got to gown down there clutching his face. This is the way.

Very much doubt Son would've been penalised anyway.

 

[avenellroad]

Partey will make a big difference if he’s fit for this one. Need to play with tempo in our passing.

 

[boonthegoon]

Son is properly back in form... Hatrick vs Leicester and then scored in both international games.

 

[BergMan]

I’m always nervous before the derby, even if we do tend to smash them at home.

 

[Vinci]

Hope we've learned from the United game.

Don't get ****ed on the counter.

If we play our game and keep cool, we will win.

Sp**s are not worthy of fear

 

[yorch44]

we haven't lost to sp*rs at home in 12 years. and no, we didn't lose the CL place at their place, we lost it against southampton at home.

What we did at their place? Win a price? I would say we lost CL due to both results. And because we didn't get Guimaraes.

@Oxeki I love the Ted Lasso reference

It’s so dumb that a player has to play act in order to get a call. Son deliberately elbowed him in the face of the ball. Everyone saw it except the refs. No excuse for the either completely biased or completely inept reffing team. They really should be criticized more for this crap, VAR brings with it no excuses for missing something like this.

Saliba and Gabriel will put him in his place again! Think we will win 3-0 this time. Saka scoring twice. On to Chelsea for another three points and all the Arsenal haters crying themselves to sleep!
