Tottenham travel the short distance across North London to The Emirates on Saturday, to take on Arsenal. The Gunners sit in first place in the Premier League, winning six and losing once in their first seven league games. Spurs are third.
Antonio Conte’s side have been equally as impressive. They remain unbeaten, winning five and drawing two of their seven matches. The similarities continue in goals scored – Arsenal with 17, Tottenham with 18. Both conceding seven.
The two North London sides look incredibly well-matched at this early part of the season. Lucas Moura gave his take on Saturday’s match. He admitted Arsenal have impressed him – as well as new signing and fellow Brazilian, Jesus.

“The kid started to score and doesn’t stop. First on the personal side, on the friendship side, I’m very happy for him. He is a very deserving boy, of great quality,” Moura told Stats Perform, as quoted by Yahoo on Thursday morning.
“He left a big club and went to Arsenal, and he’s doing very well there. The whole team is doing very well. Arsenal has been playing very well.
Without a doubt, it will be a very good match for the fans to watch.”
Lucas delighted for Jesus as he continues to shine for Arsenal
Jesus has been sensational. Of course, Tottenham tried to sign Jesus before they moved for Richarlison, according to Spanish outlet AS. He has had a hand in seven goals in his seven Premier League games, scoring four, creating three.
If Tottenham are to stand any chance of beating Arsenal on Saturday, in what is already a crucial Premier League clash at this early stage, Tottenham must keep Jesus quiet. The battle between Jesus and Eric Dier will prove crucial.
