Arsene Wenger is primarily looking at the north London derby as another opportunity for Arsenal to garner three points and climb up the league table.
The Gunners will be looking forward to their clash against their local rivals Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium tomorrow as they won both home and away against Spurs last season.
Wenger admits that it is an important game early in the season, but he is looking at it as another opportunity to post three points on the league table.
He believes that the Premier League will be tougher this season, thus every win and point counts, and the fixture against Tottenham is no different.
"It's an important moment of the season and it has a meaning for everybody", the Frenchman said in a press conference.

"Above all it's an opportunity for us to take points in the Premier League where every point counts.
"It looks again this season that every point is difficult to make. Of course we play a home game and we want to win our home games.”
The last time Tottenham finished above Arsenal in the league was in the 1994/95 campaign and Wenger said that the record outlines the consistency of the Gunners over the years as Spurs have always been a strong team in England.
"Are they defining points ? I don't know, but Tottenham has over the years had good players and a good team. To be on top of them of course means that you can fight for the top of the league."
