Full Steam Ahead for an Unprecedented Derby…..

Morning all. The season resumes at The Emirates on Saturday in the North London Derby. The league campaign kicks off again at The Emirates on Saturday after a strange international break, and it couldn’t resume with a better fixture.

Sanllehi Arsenal dig, Turner shines for USA.
