2021 is not Arsenal’s year.
With enough starpower to make anyone blush, manager Mikel Arteta has yet to meet expectations, and is well past the honeymoon phase in charge of the Gunners.
The only thing left for them to play for is pride at this point, and Sunday’s North London Derby presents the opportunity for just that.
Rival Tottenham has its own problems, but the team is more than capable of shaping up and ending the season with a Champions League ticket, but that will mean winning the games it should win. The team thoroughly dominated Crystal Palace last weekend to the tune of 4-1, earning a three-game winning streak in the process.
Offseason headliner Gareth Bale notched braces in two of those three wins, showing the opposition that it has more than Harry Kane or Heung-Min Son to worry about these days.

This Weekend’s Top Matches to Watch
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur – A North London Derby is a North London Derby, no matter what the standings show.
Manchester United vs West Ham United – West Ham quietly sits in fifth place in the Premier League ranks. How serious are they? On the other side, Manchester United must keep its foot on the gas and pray to be close if Manchester city slips in the final stretch of the season.
Cruz Azul vs Monterrey – First and third respectively as the Liga MX season turns towards the business end. A Monterrey win will bust the title race wide open.
Monaco vs Lille – Lille has held down the Ligue 1 standings for several weeks and simply cannot afford to lose with PSG breathing down its neck. Monaco, fighting for the Champions League picture, should present a credible threat for playing the spoiler.
