Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin is ready to shine for the Gunners when they face Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane.
The 23-year-old has been in impressive form this season and was praised by legends Thierry Henry and Martin Keown earlier this week.
But with Spurs determined to take all three points to leapfrog their rivals, the Frenchman admits a hard battle awaits the Gunners on Saturday afternoon.
"It's a massive game for the club and the fans," Coquelin told Arsenal Player.
"I think everyone is looking forward to it. The Manchester City match was a big one, and this one has got a special something about it.
"It's going to be a tough game - we're playing away over there, so it's going to be hard. I think with the month we've just had, the confidence is going to be high.
"Even at youth level, we got a lot of stick from their fans and the atmosphere was really good. It just makes you want to do even better for your team and win the game.
"When you play for Arsenal against Tottenham, it's not about just playing your game, it's about winning. You have to win it.
"For the fans and the team it's a big game and it's one we want to win."
