Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta went on to label the North London Derby as the \u2018nicest game of the season\u2019 ahead of the much-awaited game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It is the nicest game of the season to watch and play because of the atmosphere and what it means to the people - us and everyone that is involved. The atmosphere is something the fans can help with and something we can do by giving them something to feed off. Let's do it,\" said Arteta in the press conference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Arsenal\u2019s season seems to have gone off the rails, with the Gunners having not won their last three outings, falling eight points behind Liverpool in the league table, trailing Newcastle United 0-2 after the first leg of the Carabao Cup, and having been knocked out of the FA Cup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus is suspected to have ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament and now faces a long spell on the sidelines after he was stretchered off during Arsenal\u2019s loss against Manchester United in the third round of the FA Cup further adding to the Gunners\u2019 ongoing injury crisis.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Arteta did not confirm the seriousness of the injury but admitted the club is \"very worried' in regards to his injury.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"(It's) not looking good at all, but we need to review with the specialist and will have more information this afternoon. I don't want to confirm anything until we have the final report this afternoon. We were every worried straight after the game and we are very worried today,\u201d Arteta added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Gunners are already missing the services of Bukayo Saka, who was in top form before his injury, as the English forward is not expected to return to the first team before March. It will be interesting to see if they enter the January transfer market in hopes of bringing some much-needed attacking reinforcements.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Spaniard confirmed the club is \u2018actively looking\u2019 in the market to try and improve his squad. \"My answer doesn\u2019t change. We are actively looking into the market to improve the squad. We always have been. It would be naive not too. We are looking and we are trying, so let\u2019s see what we can do.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
