Arteta issues rallying cry to home fans ahead of North London Derby
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta

ARSENAL boss Mikel Arteta has issued a rallying cry ahead of today’s north London derby. 

Hostilities resume in the Premier League this weekend, with the mouth-watering clash between first and third taking place at lunchtime.

Arteta’s side head into the eagerly awaited fixture top of the table after posting six wins from seven league matches prior to the international break — with those in red and white hoping for a repeat of the 3-1 scoreline in the same match last term.
