Unai Emery will experience a north London derby for the first time on Sunday and admits his friend Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham are currently better than his own Arsenal side.
After replacing Arsene Wenger in the summer, Emery has started his tenure as Gunners' head coach with some positive performances and is enjoying an 18-match unbeaten streak heading into his first taste of derby-day in England.
The 47-year-old came up against Spurs boss Pochettino during their time managing in Spain, with Emery recommending the then-Espanyol coach as his replacement when he left Valencia.
