Let's cut through the noise. We've dropped points in back-to-back Premier League games. We surrendered a two-goal lead to the team rock-bottom of the table. This was the first time in Premier League history that a side top of the table let a two-goal lead slip against the club propping it up. That unwanted record adds further pressure on Mikel Arteta. Manchester City are now just two points behind us, and today we travel to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This is not a normal away day. This is a gut-check.
We've now won just two of our last seven Premier League games. In that stretch, we've surrendered leads against Manchester United, Brentford and Wolves. Only Crystal Palace and West Ham have dropped more points from winning positions in 2026 than our seven. We've failed to win from a leading position in three of our last five league games.
The familiar script is writing itself again. A commanding lead. A capitulation. The same questions about mentality and character that have trailed this squad for three title-chasing seasons.
But here's the thing: the fixture list has handed us the perfect opportunity to respond against our fiercest rivals, in their backyard, on live TV. Win today and the narrative flips completely.
Spurs have managed just one victory in the last nine North London Derbies, drawing one and losing the rest, with that sole win coming back in May 2022. Igor Tudor takes charge of his first game as interim boss today. Their captain Cristian Romero is suspended, while the likes of Kulusevski, Maddison, Kudus, Odobert, Bentancur, Udogie and Bergvall are all out injured.
On paper, this should be a game we take all three points from. But ‘on paper’ means nothing in a North London Derby, and we know that better than anyone. There’s something called a new manager bounce and Igor Tudor has won his first match in charge in each of his last five spells at a club.
Today we have to take the attack to the opposition from the beginning and try to put the game to bed as soon as possible. We know what this squad is capable of. The only question is whether they do too.
Come on you Gunners.
