Six points in three games isn’t a bad outcome considering that we have only played at home once so far. However, the most anticipated game yet is upon us as Tottenham come to the Emirates for the North London derby.
Considering both teams’ performances so far in the Premier League, Arsenal go into the game as massive favourites. Per contra, anything can happen in a derby and Emery should outwit Pochettino to secure the early bragging rights.
History is on our side
Pochettino has just three wins in 10 games against Emery which is appalling for a manager of his quality. However, Harry Kane has almost always found a way to trouble us and he will again be a massive threat.
Tanguy Ndombele is ruled out which is a massive boost for us especially if Emery picks our midfield wisely. Lucas Torreira has to come back to the starting lineup alongside Granit Xhaka and the duo, like last season’s game against Spurs, will need to have a good game.
Our brilliant attack against their poor defence
Dani Ceballos turned down Tottenham to join us in the summer and he will be looking to prove a point. The delicious prospect of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Nicolas Pepe is on the cards and the latter could become an instant hero with a goal against the enemy.
The trio’s pace and movement will certainly be a headache for Tottenham’s defence and especially Davinson Sanchez who has had a poor start to the campaign. Arsenal can genuinely run riot against a Spurs side who looked terrible against Newcastle last weekend, especially if Emery gets his cards right.
