Hugo Lloris believes Tottenham need time to start realising their potential but accepts the clock's ticking as Nuno Espirito Santo's men seek to avoid a third straight capital calamity in the North London derby.
Spurs make the short trip to Arsenal licking their wounds after a pair of 3-0 drubbings at the hands of Crystal Palace and Chelsea.
Palace took Tottenham apart following Japhet Tanganga's red card at Selhurst Park while Chelsea were in a different class as they tore Nuno's men to pieces.
Those losses, and the manner of them, changed the mood coming so soon after their flying start to the season under their new boss in which Tottenham had gone top of the table after winning their first three matches, sparked by a well-deserved 1-0 success over champions Manchester City.
