Arsenal vs. Tottenham
I can't say I'm particularly confident in a win, but with us, you just never know what's going to happen in matches. We might slaughter them, we might capitulate, we might be evenly matched... I haven't a clue. Let's hope for the best...
Expected Team
Wenger changed things up big time against City, but I expect we'll see our "standard" team for this one. That means...
Cech
Koscielny - Per - Monreal
Bellerin - Ramsey - Xhaka - Kolasinac
Özil - Alexis
Lacazette
I'd personally like to see Wilshere in the mix though, either replacing one of Özil/Alexis or a defender (changing the formation to a 4-2-3-1).Koscielny - Per - Monreal
Bellerin - Ramsey - Xhaka - Kolasinac
Özil - Alexis
Lacazette
Past Few Results
We haven't been doing so well against them recently, which sets a bad precedent. Let's hope we can turn that around...

Rant
On a serious note, we really, really need to win this. We're being taken less and less seriously by rival fans and pundits; Tottenham fans are actually laughing and confident going into this game. It's embarrassing for us, a club that's supposed to be in the thick of the the title fight, and the worst part is they're kind of right. We've been so poor against the top 6 sides in the past few seasons that we're relieved by draws. We're the only top 6 side that hasn't been a serious contender for a major trophy in the past 5 years. The least we can do is show our historical rivals up at our home ground on Saturday to save face. We're heading into one of the most pivotal transfer windows in the club's history imo, and we need to show good players that we're a side still capable of achieving big things.
Let's win this, f*ck Sp**s.
