Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is hoping to use Sunday's North London Derby with Tottenham as the game to turn their disappointing season around.
Spurs go into the game top of the Premier League, while Arsenal are already eight points behind, with five losses from their opening 10 league fixtures. However, Aubameyang is looking to use Sunday as a springboard.
"I can’t wait for the derby on Sunday," the Arsenal forward wrote in his matchday programme notes ahead of the Rapid Vienna game.
"I think this is the game that we have to make into a turning point for us this season. There’s nothing better than this game to give you that opportunity to turn things around.
"We have to understand that if we can win this game then everyone will change their mindset. A big result in the derby can really lift the players, the fans – everyone.
"We know it will be a tough game, they are playing well at the moment to tell the truth but we have to take care of our game, how we want to play the game, and make it all about us. We are waiting for this game – we need to give everything to get the win and change our situation."
Meanwhile, Spurs boss Jose Mourinho is hopeful captain Harry Kane will be fit to start against Gunners.
"I believe [Harry Kane] is going to be fit," said Mourinho. "I'm not sure. He's having treatment but I could be doing some bluff and pretend he's in trouble, but he's not and I think he'll play [against Arsenal]."
