Arsenal take on fierce rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday’s lunch time kick off at the Emirates in what promises to be a lip smacking North London Derby. The Gunners come into the clash after a disappointing 2-1 reversal at the hands of Southampton in midweek in the Capital One Cup. Spurs meanwhile beat Nottingham Forest by 3-1 in the same competition but are win-less in their last three Premier League encounters.
Both the sides will look to go all out to secure wins, knowing they can hardly let the feet of the accelerator thanks to Chelsea’s brilliant start to the campaign. However in bizarre turn of events, forward Alexis Sanchez was given a warning as he was trying to do extra training. The Chile international curled an exquisite free-kick on Tuesday night but failed to see his time avoiding defeat to the Saints. The Gunners however will be raring to go on Saturday afternoon for clinching the full three points.
Here are some of the pictures exclusively taken from Twitter featuring Arsenal players in the training sessions.
