However, Mikel Arteta may have a problem at left-back for his team's huge clash with Tottenham on Saturday (October 1), with Zinchenko missing their previous game due to injury. The upcoming north London derby is one of the biggest clashes between the two sides in recent years, as both sit in the Premier League's top three. Tierney has made 94 appearances for Arsenal since his arrival from Celtic in 2019. However, he has only played more than 25 games only once in a single season due to relentless injury problems.

Pundit claims Arsenal need to win against big teams if they want to win the Premier League

The Gunners sit top of the Premier League, but do have some difficult fixtures coming up against the likes of Tottenham, Manchester City and Liverpool. The Gunners' recent record against the big teams is poor, and former striker Kevin Campbell believes Mikel Arteta needs to address that issue. The pundit told Football Insider: “There are certain hurdles that Arsenal have to get over. The North London derby is one of them. It is first against third so it is a big game." He further continued: “Liverpool are coming up as well. There is still City away and City at home. These are games that need to be won if you want to challenge for the title. If we win those games the team deserves to be talked about as title contenders."

They have to get through them. Some of the games are going to go ok and other aren’t. If you can beat your rivals, you have a good chance of challenging for the title. You have to win those games though.” The Gunners will next take field in the North London derby on Saturday, October 1, at the Emirates Stadium.
