Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has claimed that his team have "an advantage" over Tottenham Hotspur entering Sunday's Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal go into the London derby having won seven of their last eight in the league, including a 4-1 victory over Sunderland last weekend, which temporarily moved them to the top of the table.
Spurs, on the other hand, are without a win in their last three in the league and Wenger believes that the strength of his squad could prove vital this weekend.
"I believe we have an advantage if we are all at our best. I have a squad of 25 players who are all top class. A game of this stature is not about 11 players, it is about 25," Wenger told reporters. "[Olivier] Giroud came on against Sunderland and made the difference. Everyone's contribution will be vital."
Both Premier League matches between the two teams last season finished level, including a 1-1 draw at the Emirates Stadium.
