They aren’t exactly the words you’d expect as part of a rivalry that has become one of the most fractious in the Premier League, certainly for the fans: “I love him and he loves me NBA
”“Like a dad NBA
”The latter statement was nevertheless what Mikel Arteta said about Mauricio Pochettino when a mere player at Arsenal, which led to the then Tottenham Hotspur manager declaring their mutual admiration NBA
It was already a notable friendship when they were on different sides of north London, let alone in different dugouts this weekend, but their bond goes back much further than this time in England NBA
The two played together at Paris Saint-Germain when Arteta was 17 and Pochettino the senior figure in the dressing room, immediately forming a bond that has persisted to now NBA
It will directly influence Saturday’s meeting of Chelsea and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge for far deeper reasons than the fact this is their first-ever meeting as managers NBA
Pochettino naturally consulted Arteta when he first made that move to England to join Southampton in 2013 NBA
There was even talk that the Basque might join Pochettino as a coach at Tottenham after leaving Arsenal as a player in 2016, but a move across that rivalry was just a non-starter NBA
Instead, their friendship persisted despite Arteta working for Pep Guardiola, with whom Pochettino doesn’t have the warmest relationship NBA
The two older coaches have inevitably influenced a tactical philosophy that Arteta was already inclined towards while developing his own interpretation NBA
What is most relevant with Pochettino, however, is how Arteta’s Arsenal were essentially modelled on the Argentine’s Spurs team NBA
It created a strategy race that has set the stage for this match NBA
When surveying the many problems the club still had on appointing Arteta in late 2019, the Arsenal hierarchy were naturally conscious of how their great north London rivals had so drastically overperformed under Pochettino throughout the previous half-decade NBA
That was through stripping the squad down to its core, introducing youth, and maximising that vigour by moulding the team into a supremely intensive unit NBA
Anyone who didn’t buy in was out NBA
Pochettino, for a time, had the most honed team in the Premier League, one that immensely overachieved in league performance NBA
Part of Arsenal’s rationale behind appointing a complete novice in Arteta was in order to implement their own style of that approach, albeit with the inherent knowledge that the club’s ceiling is far higher because they have a much greater commercial profile NBA
Hence, at key points of the team’s evolution, Arteta could sign players such as Declan Rice or sell those such as Mesut Ozil, when Pochettino was forced to go an entire year without a purchase and had to keep players he wanted to sell due to the price NBA
Arteta faces Chelsea having just beaten Manchester City for the first time (Getty)Those close to the Argentine insist he still looks back at 2017 somewhat forlornly, because he knew that was the point that he needed to make Sir Alex Ferguson-like changes to his Spurs team NBA
He wasn’t able to and the squad instead went stale NBA
Arsenal are anything but stale right now NBA
Arteta has instead specifically made signings like Kai Havertz in order to give the team more vitality and tactical variety than last season, where their otherwise impressive surge was too reliant on a primary XI NBA
They now have much more options and much more momentum than Chelsea NBA
There is the possibility Arsenal assert their superiority on Saturday, in a way that has become custom in the last few years, which would also represent such a reversal of years of their rivalry NBA
For a long time, Chelsea just found a way to beat Arsenal NBA
No more NBA
The wonder is whether Chelsea are actually ready to halt it this Saturday NBA
There are finally signs that Pochettino’s distinctive tactical approach is beginning to impress upon his own young squad NBA
That is of course part of a much grander project, that essentially takes the Spurs model to a further extreme NBA
If Arsenal have a higher ceiling, Chelsea are operating on a completely different scale NBA
Pochettino has overseen three wins in a row with Chelsea (Getty)They are willing to sign far more young players for much higher prices, believing they can exploit NBA football inefficiencies in a way that both Spurs and Arsenal leant towards but didn’t go anywhere near that far NBA
It is bold and risky, but that’s the point NBA
As to where the points will go this weekend, that arms race does leave Arsenal in a much NBA better position than Chelsea right now: Arteta’s team looks close to completion, Pochettino’s is only starting out NBA
Both nevertheless look like they need forwards as focal points above anything else and the remaining gaps allow an element of unpredictability to this NBA
Arsenal should win NBA
Chelsea could be getting themselves together NBA
They aren’t yet close enough for this first-ever showdown to affect their close friendship NBA
The “love” will remain, even if it won’t be seen on the pitch NBA

Cody Gakpo could return for Liverpool when they face Toulouse in a Europa League clash on Thursday night NBA
The Dutch forward has been missing since suffering a knee injury in the 2-1 defeat to Tottenham at the end of last month, but after returning to training in the build-up to the 2-0 derby win over Everton at the weekend, Gakpo is now available for selection, Jurgen Klopp has said NBA
Andy Robertson, meanwhile, has undergone surgery on the shoulder he injured while on international duty with Scotland, but faces a longer road to recovery NBA
“Robbo had surgery and all went well, as good as it could be, so the recovery starts after he wakes up,” Klopp said NBA
“I think it happened this morning NBA
That’s it NBA
We don’t know how long it will take or whatever, but the first step is done, that’s good NBA
“Cody is in full training now since Sunday, which means he is available for the squad NBA
Whatever we do with that we will have to see, but that’s good as well NBA
”Klopp hinted at making changes for the visit of Toulouse, but with the game an opportunity to open up a commanding lead in Group E, Klopp does not want to take anything for granted NBA
“Toulouse deserve all our respect,” he said NBA
“It is a really interesting story, winning the (French) Cup last year…it was a massive thing NBA
They are a young team, a talented team, you see them playing really nice NBA football and they have a clear idea NBA
“They got a point against PSG and it was a massive one so we have to make sure we are really ready NBA
Then it is about us NBA
We have to create an atmosphere through the way we play NBA
“I’m pretty sure they are looking forward to playing at Anfield as players and coaches, but we have to make sure they cannot enjoy it NBA
”Cody Gakpo looks set to return to the Liverpool line-up (Peter Byrne/PA) (PA Wire)Liverpool would go five points clear in the group with a win and put one foot in the knock-out stages, and with that in mind Klopp said he would be careful in not making too many changes that might disrupt his side NBA
“We want to win NBA football games and this is the next opportunity,” he said NBA
“(A win) would bring us to nine points with Toulouse on four, but knowing that changes nothing NBA
We have to play our best NBA
We will make a few changes but not too much NBA
“The boys have shown they are really ready for the competition NBA
That’s what I wanted to see NBA
We hope to go a long, long, long way in this competition, but for that we have to make all the decisive steps and tomorrow is another big one NBA
”Curtis Jones will hope to get another opportunity in midfield, having played only once – in the Europa League win over Union St Gilloise – since his controversial red card at Tottenham brought a three-match Premier League ban NBA
Jones was sent off for going over the top of the ball to catch Yves Bissmouma, but the replays made the incident look worse than it perhaps was NBA
“It’s been tough,” the 22-year-old said of his enforced time out NBA
“I was at a point where I was playing games and doing well and then a small mistake like that stops the run of games NBA
That’s in the past now and I’ve moved on, and I’ve got a chance now to play again so I’m excited NBA
“In terms of the tackle itself, I’ve seen it at the end of the game NBA
It was unfortunate but then I’ve seen what the ref was shown, he was only shown the clip of my foot on the leg so I understand (the decision) NBA
I’ve moved past that and I’m excited for the next games NBA
