I know what this game means for our supporters – Pochettino – Preview Arsenal

Koscielny joins nine others on Arsenal’s injury list: Hector Bellerin (groin), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (hamstring), Theo Walcott (calf), Mikel Arteta (ankle/foot), Aaron Ramsey (hamstring), David Ospina (shoulder), Jack Wilshere (ankle), Tomas Rosicky (knee) and Danny Welbeck (knee).

“We manage in the FA Cup to win six games in a row, but how is it to compete over a longer period of time?”.

But, ahead of Sunday’s meeting between the two at the Emirates, Arsenal boss Wenger believes the move will see Tottenham match his side.

However, in the post match press conference of the Champions League match, Wenger said Bellerin will still be absent against Spurs while Koscielny has a better chance to play the London derby match, per Daily Mail.

Thrashed 5-1 by Bayern Munich in Tuesday night’s Champions League encounter, Arsenal are unlikely to qualify for the last 16 of the competition.

Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal host Tottenham in the north London derby today looking for a sixth straight Premier League win.

“Many will expect them to fold when the pressure is on and I do worry about Per Mertesacker in the centre of their defence”.

Arsene Wenger on his own team: “At the moment we have too many players out”.

“If he keeps developing and keeps his feet firmly on the ground – his parents will make sure of that – then he’ll go the right way”.

I think the modern world is too much about individuals and we as managers are more anxious about the collective.

The Czech Republic goalkeeper endured a hard Premier League debut for Arsenal, misjudging a cross to allow Cheikhou Kouyate to score West Ham’s opener in a 2-0 win at Emirates Stadium in August.

On the pitch, Arsenal are keeping up the pace at the top of the table while Tottenham remain unbeaten in the league since the opening weekend of the campaign.

One of the reasons his players usually respond to setbacks is that Wenger strives to maintain an atmosphere of calm.

He said: “I love this guy because he has very good spirit and he loves fighting”. The quality is very good. “It shows that we are hungry for success and that’s why I want to praise the whole team”.

“I believe that we created a high number of chances for a game of that stature and offensively, I was quite impressed by the number of chances we created”.
