After a dismal run of form the Gunners are struggling this season and are effectively only playing for one thing.
Securing that all important fourth spot in the Premiership is worth an estimated £45 million to which ever club gets it.
With only four points separating Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle, and Liverpool a win at home to North London rivals Tottenham Hotspurs is almost a do or die match for the Gunners.
Former Arsenal player Ray Parlour had this to say about the local derby: “I just hope Arsenal show up against Tottenham,” he said while talking on this morning’s Talksport breakfast show.
“The AC Milan match was one of the worst performances I have ever seen. Now they’ve got three games to bounce back. The next couple of games are going to be vital.
“Arsenal has got Tottenham at home, Liverpool away and Newcastle at home, those three games are against teams that are contending for that fourth place.
“It’s a massive month for Arsene Wenger and his team. If they can get a positive result on Sunday it can set them up for the season.”
