Arsenal boss Arteta: We want to hand our fans victory at Spurs; Ange has been very good

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says his players are up for Sunday's clash at Tottenham.

The Gunners need victory to stay top of the table.

Arteta said: "More motivation, if anything, you know what you can give to your people, which is a lot of joy and happiness if we manage to win the game. Obviously when you have the chance to do that and that's in your hand, you really want to make the most of it to try and make it happen.

"Enjoy the moment, try to navigate things to a natural way. They are super competitive at the moment. There is one thing to do in this situation, compete, compete, complete. It's a really good sign because we know what we are going to have to do to win it and we have to raise the bar, every day in training to match that."

On Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou, he added: "Really impressive with what he has done, It's not a surprise, I know it from when he was in the Australian national team, when he was in Japan, I followed Celtic and he has always been super clear with the direction and identity of how his team plays. I love the way his teams play so I think he's been very good."
