(Reuters) - High-flying Arsenal have a great opportunity to end their long-running winless streak at rivals Tottenham Hotspur's stadium when the sides meet this weekend, manager Mikel Arteta said on Friday.
Arsenal's last successful Premier League trip to Spurs came in 2014, but the league-leaders will have reason to believe that the run could be snapped on Sunday, as they come into the match 11 points clear of their rivals with 44 points after 17 games.
"It's an emotional fixture, very passionate. Incredible feeling when on the pitch. You can feel the tension, the atmosphere around it. However, Arteta stressed that victory was far from a foregone conclusion, adding that it was not clear what version of Tottenham would turn up for the match on Sunday."Sometimes they allow you to make the game. They have a lot of tools to cause problems. We will prepare in the best possible way and then it will be left to players to do what they have to do."
