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.
What went wrong against Crystal Palace By Jonny Bray On Monday evening, Arsenal fell to a disappointing 3-0 loss against Patrick Vieira's Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. It was the most underwhelming performance Gunners fans have witnessed since the 2-1 loss against Everton back in December. Mikel Arteta's team selection and squad management have both come under scrutiny, while several players have been criticised by fans and pundits alike. So, what went wrong against Crystal Palace? Where did it go wrong? Arsenal's biggest issues against Palace came at left-back and central midfield. Nuno Tavares probably received more criticism than any other player following his performance, and while it is harsh, it is easy to see why. He was drafted in as a late replacement for Kieran Tierney after the Scotland international suffered a season-ending injury pre-match. And this is his first season of Premier League football, still with plenty of time to improve at just 22 years old. How...
Transfer Profile: Ruben Neves By Jonny Bray It is hard to believe that Ruben Neves is still only 25-years-old. It feels as if the Portuguese international has been tipped for big things for nearly a decade now. With the midfielder out of contract in 2023, it appears his time at Wolverhampton Wanderers could be coming to an end. Understandably, with a player like Neves on offer for a reduced price, clubs around Europe are queueing up to secure the international's signature. So, after all this time, should Arsenal move for Ruben Neves now, or is it time for the Gunners to turn their attention to a new target? What would he bring? Arsenal do not have enough defensive midfielders. Martin Ødegaard, Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka give Mikel Arteta plenty of midfield options going forward, but the Gunners have been found lacking when out of possession this season. Thomas Partey has been in and out of the side due to injuries, a fact that has not hel...
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...
