Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has a lot on his plate ahead of this weekend's North London Derby against Tottenham Hotspur.
Not only is local pride and bragging rights at stake, but victory for the Gunners will see them retain top spot in the Premier League table, end Spurs' 13-game unbeaten run in the competition and perhaps most importantly gain a measure of revenge after what happened in the last meeting between the two sides.
Of course, Arsenal's preparations for the game will be somewhat disjointed because of the international break. Arteta has not seen a number of his senior players for the best part of a week and it still remains to be seen what condition they'll be in upon rejoining the rest of the group at London Colney.
