Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta feels his side "need a big result" in Sunday's North London Derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Gunners have made a poor start to the Premier League season, losing five of their opening 10 matches, in stark contrast to their rivals - with Jose Mourinho leading Spurs to the top of the table ahead of the derby - live on Sky Sports.

Arsenal have fared considerably better in Europe this term - with a 100 per cent record in the Europa League group stages - and Arteta is hopeful that can be replicated against their rivals, who were held 3-3 by LASK on Thursday.

    "I think it's the perfect game to get a lift, regenerate some belief in the league because in the other competitions we have been really good but we need a big result," Arteta said.

    "I cannot think about any better scenario than that, to go and beat them and change things dramatically in one game."

    Amid talk of Tottenham's title credentials, 14th-placed Arsenal have struggled to score goals this term after a stellar summer which saw them lift the 2019-20 FA Cup and 2020-21 Community Shield in August.

    It means they are eight points adrift of their opponents heading into the first derby of the season - with Arteta was full of admiration for Spurs, who he believes have a clear understanding of how Jose Mourinho wants them to set-up.

    "Obviously there is a difference now between the teams in terms of points, we know the game that we are expecting," Arteta added.

    "They are in good form at the moment, they have been getting really good results and I see a team that is convinced of what they are doing. But we are going to go there to try and win the game."

      Everton end Chelsea's long unbeaten run Chelsea spurned the chance to go top of the Premier League as Gylfi Sigurdsson's penalty earned Everton a vital 1-0 win in front of 2,000 fans at Goodison Park. A first defeat in 18 games, excluding penalty shootouts, leaves Frank Lampard's men still two points adrift of Tottenham and Liverpool at the top of the table. They can extend that advantage to five points when they are in action on Sunday. Victory lifts Everton up to seventh and within just one point of the top four. Reece James and Mason Mount hit the post for the visitors, but they were made to pay for one rash moment from goalkeeper Edouard Mendy as he bundled over Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Sigurdsson coolly slotted home the resultant spot-kick. A £220 million ($291 million) spending spree had seemingly transformed Chelsea into title contenders, but the Blues badly missed the creativity of the injured Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic to break Everton down once the Toff

Hundreds chanted "Nikol, traitor" and "Armenia without Nikol" in the streets of Yerevan, answering an opposition call to protest after a deadline of midday Tuesday set by the opposition for Pashinyan to quit passed with him still in power. Pashinyan, who swept to power in a peaceful revolution in May 2018, accepted a Russian-brokered ceasefire deal last month to end a bloody conflict between Azerbaijan and ethnic Armenian forces over the Nagorno-Karabkh enclave and surrounding areas. Pashinyan's opponents want him out over what they say was his disastrous handling of the six-week conflict that handed Azerbaijan territorial gains. Pashinyan has accepted responsibility for
