Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang hopes to rally the troops and get a big win at the weekend against Tottenham.
The Gunners know they must turn around their Premier League season quickly.
They have lost five of ten matches in the league, and it is their worst start to the season in 39 years.
The Gabon striker wrote in Arsenal’s matchday programme: “I can’t wait for the derby on Sunday.
“I think this is the game that we have to make into a turning point for us this season.
“There’s nothing better than this game to give you that opportunity to turn things around.
“We have to understand that if we can win this game then everyone will change their mindset.
“A big result in the derby can really lift the players, the fans – everyone.
“We know it will be a tough game, they are playing well at the moment to tell the truth but we have to take care of our game, how we want to play the game, and make it all about us.
“We are waiting for this game – we need to give everything to get the win and change our situation.”
