Arsenal welcome fierce rivals Tottenham Hotspur to the Emirates on Saturday lunchtime aiming to make it seven wins from eight and hand their neighbours their first defeat of the season in the process.
Few rivalries in the Premier League match up to this one when it comes to guaranteed drama and hatred from both sides of North London. However, that doesn't mean there isn't the occasional compliment sent from either side and one issued by former Spurs boss Jose Mourinho is starting to ring true more than ever.
In the aftermath of Tottenham's 2-1 win over the Gunners in July 2020 during 'Project Restart', Mourinho offered up some praise for his Arsenal counterpart Arteta despite getting the better of him on the day.
