"The interesting thing is that probably both Mikel and I would like a little bit more control, but it will probably be a madhouse and very, very enjoyable to watch for the outside people or fans. I expect a difficult game of course, but a game that can go anywhere and anything can happen in games like that. Everything also evens out a little bit more because it's so competitive and the atmosphere in the stadium."
"Definitely embrace controlled chaos or chaos we like to create if that makes sense, because chaos can also be good. It can be too disruptive, or too fixed and too stop-start, so we need a bit of chaos. And chaos can be transitions, high-pressure and set-piece second phases and all them areas are of course areas we would like to exploit if we can."
Tottenham visit Arsenal in a heated north London derby, seeking only a second Premier League win at the Emirates since its opening 19 years ago. The fixture has produced drama and unpredictable outcomes, with past results including a 2-0 Brentford win at the Emirates in 2021 and a point there last season. Two players from that 2021 line-up, David Raya and Christian Nørgaard, now play for Arsenal. The match is expected to feature intense atmosphere, transitions, high pressure and decisive set-pieces, with Arsenal scoring 12 set-piece goals this season and Tottenham contributing five.
