Arsenal fans all say the same thing ahead of north London derby vs Spurs

Arsenal fans are desperate for their club to beat Spurs in the north London derby – to help them capitalise on their rivals' results on Saturday.

The Gunners host Tottenham on Sunday, heading into the game following back-to-back wins against Norwich and Burnley.

Those wins have helped lift the club in the Premier League table after they went into the international break bottom with no points following losses to Brentford, Chelsea and Man City.

But a win could see them rise into the top half of the table and just five points off the summit after Man City beat Chelsea, Man United lost to Aston Villa and Liverpool drew with Brentford on Saturday.

It means fans are now heaping even more pressure on claiming a precious three points against their bitter rivals on Sunday.

Here's what Arsenal fans are saying on social media.

@Greenwitch44: "For real, its extremely important we get 3 points tomorrow, i don't care how we do."

Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka is available for selection once again ahead of the north London derby against Tottenham Hotspur.

The Switzerland international hasn't featured for the Gunners since being sent-off in the first-half of their 5-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester City less than a month ago.

Kieran Tierney, Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny are all expected to shake of fitness concerns to be in contention to start the game.
