The Gunners take on bitter rivals Tottenham at the Emirates this Sunday.
The North London derby has a history of being unpredictable and producing some of the best games of the season.
Fans of both teams can take a lot of encouragement from North London derbies of the past, with the matchup often producing goal-fests and historically significant moments.
Sunday's contest will be the 190th meeting of the two sides, and both managers will be desperate to win.
Here's a look at some of the best North London derbies of the past.
Arsenal 4-4 Tottenham (2008)
It may not be one of the best results from an Arsenal perspective, but there's no denying that the 4-4 draw atthe Emirates during the 08/09 season is one of the best games in Premier League history.
It had everything from great goals to huge characters.
The game took place very early in Harry Redknapp's Tottenham career, and he took charge of a star-studded line-up which included Gareth Bale, Luka Modric, and Jermaine Jenas.
The Arsenal side that lined up that day also had its fair share of star power, with Emmanuel Adebayor and Robin van Persie up front and Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas in midfield.
David Bentley opened the scoring with a screamer from distance before Mikael Silvestre, William Gallas and Adebayor scored to put Arsene Wenger's side 3-1 up.
Darren Bent came off the bench to reduce the difference to one goal, but van Persie scored to make it 4-2 before Jenas got Tottenham's third.
However, Aaron Lennon scored sensationally in added time to rescue a draw for Redknapp's side.
Arsenal 5-2 Tottenham (2012)
Tottenham came into this one in good form, sitting in third in the table after 26 games with a comfortable cushion of seven points separating them from Chelsea and us.
Spurs had been in the ascendancy over Arsenal for so much of the season and looked on course to get their first back-to-back league wins away at Arsenal for 86 years.
After goals from Louis Saha and Adebayor put them in a commanding position within 34 minutes, Bacary Sagna's header and a stunning strike from van Persie put Arsenal level before the break.
Tomas Rosicky put Arsenal in front just after half-time, and Theo Walcott’s double secured the win.
Spurs would go on to bottle their lead and finish behind the Gunners in fourth, only to miss out on Champions League football when Chelsea won that season's competition.
There were few players better suited to a big moment in a North London derby than Thierry Henry
Tottenham 4-5 Arsenal (2004)
In a classic Premier League encounter, both sides entered the break drawing 1-1 after goal's from Tottenham's Noureddine Naybet and Thierry Henry.
Strikes from Lauren and Patrick Vieira put Arsenal in control before Jermain Defoe scored.
But Freddie Ljungberg and Robert Pires killed the game meaning Frederic Kanoute's 88th-minute goal meant very little.
Tottenham 3-3 Arsenal (2011)
This North London derby from the early 2010s saw both sides score early on through Rafael van der Vaart and Theo Walcott before Nasri and van Persie put the Gunners 3-1 up.
However, Redknapp's side made the score 3-3 with a goal from Tom Huddlestone and van der Vaart's second.
The 3-3 draw helped Wenger's side finish in fourth in the league that year, one place above Spurs, who had to settle for a spot in the Europa League despite having one of their best teams in years.
Tottenham 2-2 Arsenal (2004)
Despite maybe not being the most exciting game in the fixture's history, this one has to be included for historical significance.
Arsenal were unbeaten in the Premier League and only needed a point to secure the title.
The Gunners were 2–0 up after 35 minutes, thanks to goals from Patrick Vieira and Robert Pires.
A famous win seemed to be on the cards, but Spurs restored some pride by denying Arsenal victory with goals from Jamie Redknapp and Robbie Keane.
The point meant Arsenal were named Premier League Champions.
How has Mikel Arteta managed to turn the season around? By Peter White Any claims that Arsenal’s resurgence was over after last weekend’s FA Cup exit were quickly quashed by Mikel Arteta and his team, with Tuesday’s 3-1 win at Southampton a timely reminder of how far they have come in such a short space of time. A much-changed XI had seen their FA Cup defence fall 1-0 with barely a whimper at St Mary’s three days earlier, but back at the same venue against the same opposition, league duties were taken care of with aplomb. Stuart Armstrong set the haters loose by putting the Saints in front early on but strikes from impressive pair Nicolas Pepe and Bukayo Saka gave the Gunners a slender lead at the break. Alexandre Lacazette notched his tenth goal of the season in all competitions to seal Arsenal’s fifth win in six Premier League games, leaving them just five points off the top four ahead of Wednesday night’s fixtures. Such a hot streak is certainly a far cry from...
Anti-Kroenke protests biggest positive after latest dismal display If nothing else, Bernd Leno's late own goal on Friday night was a fitting end to a dreadful week for Arsenal Football Club, both on and off the pitch. A shambolic home performance against relegation-bound Fulham and an equally dismal display when the Toffees came to town sandwiched the European Super League fiasco - from a purely footballing perspective, this week's results have shown just how out of place this Arsenal side would have been had the idea somehow come to fruition. But it was events off the field which dominated the agenda on Friday evening as Gooners descended on the Emirates to make their feelings about the ownership clear. Banners from the heartfelt ('You took our home, we moved; whatever price you demanded, we paid; all for you to sell our soul') to the meme-inspired ('Dear Lord, what a sad little life Kroenke…') proved beyond doubt that this week has brought years of bubbling il...
Will Arsenal challenge for the title this season? By Jonny Bray There is a buzz at the Emirates Stadium. After two games, Arsenal and Manchester City are the only sides in the league who can boast a 100% record. Mikel Arteta's exciting Brazillian contingent have given birth to fresh optimism amongst Gunners fans with some suggesting that, after years of ridicule, Arsenal are back. Gabriel Jesus has hit the ground running, Gabriel Martinelli looks like he is becoming the elite winger he has promised to be for several seasons, and the midfield finally appears to be clicking. At the back, the Gunners look solid too. Oleksandr Zinchenko and Ben White have excelled at full-back while William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães have settled as a top-quality partnership in the heart of the Arsenal defence. But are Gunners fans getting ahead of themselves? Is this the season that Arsenal start to challenge for the league again, or will the Gunners waste away and spend another year fighting for C...
