David Luiz believes Sunday’s north London derby against Tottenham is the perfect game for Arsenal to get their Premier League campaign back on track.
Luiz believes entertaining Tottenham—who are also coming into the game at Emirates Stadium on the back of a first loss of the season, following Newcastle’s 1-0 away win on Sunday—is the ideal opportunity for the Gunners to put Saturday’s reverse behind them.
"There is no better opportunity than that," said the Brazil center-half.
"We are going to play at home against a fantastic team, against a team who are going to fight with us until the end for the same goals, the same objectives. So, we’re going to do our best to win.
"It's going to be a tough game and I'm looking forward to that. When you lose a game, you want to play another game tomorrow. They have signed new players, amazing players, so it's up to us to win the game."
Luiz has plenty of experience of playing against Tottenham from his time at Chelsea, but this will be his first taste of a north London derby.
"It's always special to play football. I play because I love it," he said.
"I still have the ambition to do big things in football. It’s going to be special for me, for sure."
