It's the North London Derby - one of the most notorious games in the world. Arteta and his young squad prepare to take on local rival Tottenham Hotspur in front of a riotous home crowd at the Emirates Stadium. The pressure is mounting on Euro 2020 hero, Bukaya Saka to score his first goal of the season. For captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, this game means far more than just team rivalries.
As the season draws to a dramatic close, Arsenal find their bitter North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur standing between them and a Champions League spot. As they prepare for the final matches and with everything to play for, can the team rise to the occasion, or will it prove all too much for the young squad to handle?
The start of a new year brings the January transfer window and Mikel Arteta the chance to rebuild his squad. Arsenal continue their quest for silverware, competing in the FA and Carabao Cup, as well as still fighting for top 4. Meanwhile, questions over Aubameyang's future continue dominating the media and the club must come to a decision about what to do with their former captain.
Arsenal suffer a string of defeats and struggle to find their form putting their top 4 place at risk.
