Arsenal are hosting Spurs on Sunday at Emirates Stadium in one of the most highly-anticipated derbies in years.
“It’s a special thing here. It’s special in the city, it’s special between communities as well and I really like it. It’s intense.“You walk down the street and there is a feeling there. I imagine it’s both ways because there is a history and rivalry.
“That’s a beautiful thing if it’s taken the right way in sport. We’re so privileged to be involved in these kind of games. “There are things that you have to control emotionally. The atmosphere will be different. It will be more electric, there will be more energy on the ground and on the pitch and you have to deal with that in the eight way and take advantage of it.
“I think it builds something even bigger with your supporters. It’s a game that’s in the fixture list and you always look and ask: ‘When are we playing that game?’ “It’s special, there’s something emotionally attached to it and it makes it bigger so it will be a big lift if we manage to win it.”
