Arsenal striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would be relying on the Premier League fixture against Tottenham on Sunday, to restore his side’s confidence in the domestic scene.
Mikel Arteta’s men have had a really unimpressive season so far in the league but, same cannot be said about their performance in the Europa League.
Arsenal currently holds a 100 percent record in Group B of the Europa League, having won 5 of their last games to gain qualification to the last 32.
Despite keeping a clean result in the Europa League, the Gunners find are wallowing at the bottom half of the league table to confirm their worst start in 39 years.
“I think this is the game that we have to make into a turning point for us this season,” Arsenal’s captain told reporters heading towards a trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
“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.”
The Gabonese striker added: “We were not happy with our performance at the weekend against Wolves.
“I think we showed two different faces in that match. We completely missed the first half, we didn’t play our usual game, how we want to play, and of course this is really disappointing for us.
“There’s a lot of frustration because we know we can do a lot of things much better than we did.
“In the second half we showed more that we are capable of putting the opponent in difficult situations, we created some opportunities to score goals, but in the end we couldn’t do it.
“I think the behaviours were better in the second half, though. For whatever reason we were not at a good enough level in the first half. We know that, and we know what we have to do better from now.
“More games are coming quickly now, and the good news is we know exactly what we have to change. So it’s up to us to do it.”
