Arsenal news: North London Derby demand, Emery tactics helped Liverpool, Europa League advantage

It's the weekend and that means the North London Derby is just around the corner.

Arsenal take on Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday at 4.30pm and it is always a belter of a match.

And as you can imagine, most of the focus of news has been on the rivalry between the two teams this week.

Unai Emery is still waiting to see if certain players will leave the club, with the European transfer window open until September 2. While there is also a line from Jurgen klopp, on how Arsenal have helped his side.

Here we round up the biggest Arsenal stories from the past 24 hours.

Emery's helping hand

Jurgen Klopp did not expect Arsenal to line up the way they did last weekend.

But it may just have given the Reds a helping hand for the rest of the season.

Liverpool dispensed with Arsenal with relative ease at Anfield, winning 3-1, but the Reds had to adapt the way they played to deal with Emery's approach.

Here's what Klopp said about the match.

Keown makes demand

All eyes will be on the Emirates on Sunday and the North London Derby.

Do Arsenal have the edge heading into the contest, given their two wins from three, as opposed to Spurs' one and the fact Tottenham were beaten by Newcastle United last time out?

Unai Emery has a number of selection dilemmas on his hands.

And Gunners legend Martin Keown has made a demand of the head coach.

Europa League details

Arsenal have found out their Europa League fate.

The draw for the group stages was held in Monaco on Friday, with the Gunners put in Group F alongside Vitoria, Eintracht Frankfurt and Standard Liege.

It is a much nicer group than the one they had last year.

And here are the details of the fixtures for the campaign.

European advantage

Do the Gunners have an advantage already when it comes to European fixtures?

There is nearly always more travelling involved in the Europa League than the Champions League, but Arsenal have been handed a significant boost in terms of their matches, compared with Manchester United's.

And it is something Unai Emery and his players must capitalise on in the race for the top four.

Ceballos vs Lo Celso

The North London Derby will prove popular in Andalucia on Sunday.

Both Dani Ceballos and Giovani Lo Celso have spent time at Real Betis, with Ceballos having also played for Sevilla, and they will go head-to-head in one of the Premier League's biggest games.
