Arsenal fans make same claim about Tottenham during Anthony Joshua fight against Oleksandr Uysk

Arsenal will be looking to earn their third straight Premier League win when they face arch rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby.

Despite losing their opening three matches, the Gunners can potentially leapfrog Nuno Espirito Santo's side on goal difference with victory at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Mikel Arteta's side started the Premier League season with defeats against Brentford, Chelsea and Manchester City, before earning wins over struggling Norwich City and Burnley.

Spurs, though, got off to an excellent start with three successive victories, but have since suffered two defeats on the bounce to put a dent on an impressive start.

With Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and City all starting superbly in the league, both sides will want to keep up the pace as they try to break back into the Champions League places.

This isn't the only high-profile event that is taking place in north London over the weekend, as Spurs' own Tottenham Hotspur Stadium hosted Anthony Joshua's hotly-anticipated fight against Oleksandr Usyk.

Over 66,000 attended arguably the biggest English-based bout for almost two years and it proved to be a fascinating spectacle as Usyk came out on top.

But it's the Spurs stadium that took most of the praise and Arsenal supporters were agreeing with that and one fan even claimed the Emirates Stadium could not host something like this.

Here is what some had to say.

@PainInThe : Tottenham's stadium looks absolutely incredible. Our stadium isn't even old but there's not a chance it could host an event like this.

@AdanOsmand : Plenty to criticise about Levy's 21yrs at Tottenham but the Stadium is not one of them. I give him credit for the incredible Stadium

@GallimoreMatt : That Tottenham Hotspur Stadium looks absolutely stunning at the AJ fight

@dio_b24: tottenham hotspur stadium is stunning

@onlyonepk: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium looking stunning for this AJ vs Usyk fight

@JamieMizen: Gotta say that Tottenham stadium is unreal! What a venue

@MacDan19: Can see the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium becoming the new home of boxing in the U.K. It looks like it was built for it, unreal place! #joshuavsusyk
