Arsenal face a searching test of their title credentials in the hurly-burly of a north London derby this weekend as in-form Manchester United host defending champions Manchester City.
There are also multiple clashes between teams at the wrong end of the table, with Frank Lampard’s nosediving Everton side travelling to basement club Southampton.
They will be keen to get back to winning ways at the home of their fiercest rivals on Sunday after a goalless draw with high-flying Newcastle last week. Manchester United are the next visitors to the Emirates while City come calling in February. Emile Smith Rowe, who returned this week after a long injury lay-off, believes the Gunners can use defeat at Tottenham last season as added motivation for the trip to their local rivals.
City put United to the sword at the Etihad in early October, hammering their rivals 6-3 to underline their position as top dogs in the city.
