Arsenal defender David Luiz is ready for the North London Derby against Tottenham.

The Gunners face off against their fiercest rivals.

They are reeling after a 3-1 defeat to Liverpool and will be desperate to avoid another miserable result.

Veteran defender Luiz, a summer signing from Chelsea, is excited about the game.

"It's going to be special for me for sure," said the former Blues defender to reporters.

"It's always special to play football. I play football because I love football. That's why I'm still playing, that's why I still have ambition and try to do big things in football.

"It's going to be a tough game.

"But I'm looking forward to that. When you lose a game, you want to play a game tomorrow if it's possible.

"So we are going to work hard. It's going to be another tough, tough game against a fantastic team, who have signed new players, amazing players.

"So it's up to us to try to do our game, especially at home and win the game.
