Arsenal boss Unai Emery has been talking about the Tottenham Hotspur side that will visit the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
Both of the north London rivals lost out at the weekend but it is the manner of Spurs' 1-0 defeat at home to struggling Newcastle which has brought about plenty of questions about Mauricio Pochettino's side.
The Spurs boss admitted after the match that with players linked with moves elsewhere before the foreign transfer windows close on September 2 this is the most unsettled squad he has had since he arrived at the club in May 2014.
Emery was asked whether it is a good time to play a north London derby.
"For us, to play matches like last week against Liverpool and this week against Tottenham, the two teams who played the final of the Champions League last year, is amazing," he said.
"I think it's the best test and every time is a good moment to play against them. Sunday, with our supporters, I think is the best moment to play and enjoy with our supporters in that match, that derby.
"After that is for the football. I think maybe that on Sunday, that match is the best match in the world for all football supporters."
The Arsenal boss was asked whether he had an special plans to stop Harry Kane from adding to his long list of goals against the Gunners.
"Kane is a big and great player for them, but we also have very big and great players in our team," he countered.
"We are going to play with our game plan and also with respect to them, but also believing in our game plan and in our players and in our supporters, because they are going to help us.
"We need also to stop them, but thinking also that we have very good players to do that. Also, to show our best capacity and best performance on Sunday."
Emery was then asked which Tottenham player he would choose to take into his team and he sidestepped it with aplomb.
"I am very, very happy with our players," he said. "Really, I respect [the Spurs players], I respect their coach, a very big coach and also they are doing a lot of things very positively with their players. But I trust and I want our players."
