A North London Derby!

According to reports, Arsenal are keen on closing the gap on their arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur in this weekend's derby match. Unai Emery's side are looking to make up ground on Spurs, who currently sit 5 points ahead of them in the Premier League table.

Arsenal have been in decent form lately, winning 3 of their last 5 matches, including a 2-0 victory over Bournemouth in their last outing. Meanwhile, Tottenham have been struggling for consistency, with 2 wins and 2 losses in their last 4 matches.

Emery will be looking to get one over his former Sevilla teammate, Mauricio Pochettino, and lead his team to a much-needed win to close the gap on Spurs. The Gunners have a strong squad, with the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette, and Mesut Ozil capable of causing problems for the Tottenham defense.

However, Spurs have a strong team as well, with the likes of Harry Kane, Son Heung-Min, and Christian Eriksen posing a significant threat to Arsenal's defense. The match is expected to be a tight and intense affair, with both teams looking to come out on top.

The North London Derby is always a highly anticipated match, and this weekend's encounter promises to be no different. Will Arsenal be able to close the gap on Spurs, or will Tottenham maintain their lead? Only time will tell!
