Arsenal F.C. saw their long winning streak snapped just before the international break, but it is believed that they have already adjusted their mentality during the international break period.

Facing Tottenham Hotspur F.C. in a match they cannot afford to lose, and with their opponents also dealing with significant injury and absence issues, Arsenal F.C. still have the quality to assert themselves at home.

On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur F.C. could have secured all three points against Manchester United, but they conceded a late equalizer, which may have dampened their morale.
