Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla has said that he is expecting a tough game when his side face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday.

The Gunners have already beaten Spurs twice in the North London derby this season and Cazorla is desperate for them to claim another victory to boost their hopes of title success.

"They are playing quite well at the moment and they will give everything against us," he told Arsenal Player. "They've got lots of good players and once we get out there we know it will be a tough game. But if we play as we normally do, we can beat anybody.

"It's one of the great games because of the great rivalry between Arsenal and Tottenham. But apart from that it's a very important game for us because we're both vying for the Champions League places.

"There's always a great atmosphere and it's clear that it's a special game for both clubs. For us players, it's a case of making the fans happy. We need the result because we're going for the title. They need it of course because of their Champions League aspirations."

Arsenal are currently fourth in the Premier League table.
