Pochettino: I wish Emery all the best at Arsenal... just not when he's playing against Spurs!

The Tottenham boss says he had a good relationship with Arsenal's new manager from his time in Spain, but will shelve the friendship on Sunday

Mauricio Pochettino is relishing the chance to face "good friend" Unai Emery in Sunday's north London derby.

Tottenham boss Pochettino and his Arsenal counterpart were rivals during their time in Spain but it is their first meeting in England, with Emery replacing Arsene Wenger in the Gunners hot-seat in the close season.

The Argentine admits it will be "so different" this time around but will put their friendship to one side when the rivals collide at Emirates Stadium.
