Arsenal are seeking revenge over Tottenham after falling agonisingly short to their local rivals in last season's top-four race - with an X-rated tirade from Mikel Arteta still ringing in players' ears.
The Gunners finished two points behind Spurs in the 2021/22 Premier League campaign, meaning they missed out on coveted Champions League qualification. Having been in the driving seat for a spot in the top four, Arsenal's season unravelled as they were beaten by Crystal Palace and Brighton in consecutive games in April.
With a handful of fixtures still to be played, those losses handed Spurs the initiative and Antonio Conte's men would go on to secure fourth place - albeit after some more late-season drama. Following the humbling 2-1 defeat at home by Brighton, Arteta ruthlessly tore into his squad without any attempt to hide the extent of his fury.
