#1 Huge confidence booster ahead of the North London derby

Unai Emery faces his first North London derby next week

Matchday fourteen will host one of the mouthwatering fixtures in the Premier League as the two North London sides - Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur square off in a battle for supremacy. Earlier this weekend, Spurs had one of their best games of the season as they outplayed Chelsea 3-1 at Wembley stadium.

The pressure was on Unai Emery' side after a string of winless games to get a confidence booster ahead of the London derby. Arsenal started the game slowly, but as the match progressed, the Gunners gradually began to display their authority and eventually ran out 1-2 winners at the end.

The victory has taken them just three points off Pochettino's side, meaning a win next weekend could take them above their North London rivals. Arsenal have got only one point so far from the top six teams, and Unai Emery will be hoping he can get a taste of victory in his first North London derby next weekend.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
