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.
Arsenal – what have we learned from pre-season? By Jack Lacey-Hatton It only feels five minutes since Euro 2020, but incredibly we are just one week away from the new Premier League season starting. Arsenal will travel to newly promoted Brentford for a London derby in front of a noisy crowd next Friday night, not the easiest of starts to the new campaign. But what sort of shape are Mikel Arteta’s side in, going into what could be a defining season for the manager? We took a close look at what we have learnt from the pre-season period and what kind of shape the squad are in. The new signings are ready to go It has been a mixed transfer window so far. Some fans would have expected more both leaving and arriving at the Emirates stadium over the summer. But positives can be taken - Ben White has arrived from Brighton for £50million, and highly-rated full back Nuno Tavares has come in from Benfica. Albert Sambi Lokonga completes the 2021 summer singings so far. Cruc...
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...
Where will Arsenal finish this season? By Alec McQuarrie Arsenal have made steady improvement over the last few seasons under Mikel Arteta. After finishing 8th in his debut season, the Spaniard oversaw a five-point improvement in his first full campaign. And last year an eight-point leap followed, which was unfortunately not enough to pip Tottenham to fourth place. Cruelly, the 69 points accumulated would have been enough to seal Champions League qualification in the previous two seasons. Looking at the trajectory over the Arteta era, it would be fair to assume a continued improvement this coming season. After all, with five signings already secured this summer and Alexandre Lacazette the sole first-team player to depart, surely fourth place should be a bare minimum expectation. Oleksandr Zinchenko offers much-needed cover at left-back and competition for central midfield. Gabriel Jesus is a proven goalscorer and brings a tireless work-ethic to fulfil...
