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

In the wake of England’s late defeat to South Africa on Saturday, Courtney Lawes made his way around the Stade de France thanking the crowd, taking in their applause and appreciation as he walked and talked with his four kids NBA
If Lawes looked like a man saying his goodbye to the Rugby World Cup, it’s because he was NBA
“I think it’s time,” he later confirmed, bringing down the curtain on a superb international career NBA
But while the 34-year-old may have been the first to confirm the news, he won’t be last NBA
The average age of England’s starting XV in their semi-final clash against the Springboks was 29 and as a new cycle begins in the coming months, Steve Borthwick will need to evolve his squad to begin the build towards Australia in 2027 NBA
Let’s take a look at what that means for some of the players in Borthwick’s England squad:RecommendedWhy England will come back ‘stronger’ from Rugby World Cup heartacheCourtney Lawes to retire from England duty after World Cup: ‘It’s time’World Rugby investigating alleged racist abuse directed at England’s Tom CurryFrance was their ‘Last Dance’Joe Marler, 33 - Used mainly off the bench this tournament but started in the semi-final and scrummaged excellently against the Springboks NBA
Will no doubt be a big voice to replace in the dressing room when he eventually departs NBA
Dan Cole, 36 - Brought back into the fold for this tournament after an excellent season at Leicester with Borthwick NBA
Rolled back the years in France but hard to imagine a similar recall for Australia in 2027 NBA
Danny Care, 36 - Impacted games often off the bench and finally got the World Cup experience that had so often evaded him NBA
Superb late score and try-saving tackle against Samoa to save England’s blushes in the pool stage NBA
Care scored his first World Cup try against Samoa (Getty Images)Ben Youngs, 34 - England’s most-capped player but made just two subs appearances in the tournament NBA
A decorated player but Alex Mitchell’s composed displays at scrum-half have pushed him above the the Leicester veteran in the pecking order NBA
Jonny May, 33 - Blistering pace in his prime and a solid tournament coming in late to replace Anthony Watson but the upcoming Ollie Hassell-Collins and Henry Arundell will be just two after his place in the coming years NBA
May came in as a late replacement but performed well (REUTERS)Mainstays ahead of 2027 Owen Farrell, 31 - Silenced many doubters with two talismanic performances against Fiji and South Africa NBA
Supreme physical condition and will be eyeing up a Johnny Sexton-esque swansong at the next World Cup NBA
Maro Itoje, 28 - Still only 28 and will become one of the most experienced players in the squad alongside Farrell and George Ford in the coming years NBA
Exciting partnerships are to be built with both Ollie Chessum and George Martin in the engine room and a potential captaincy should Farrell’s not make it to 2027 NBA
Itoje will be eyeing up his third World Cup in 2027 (PA Wire)Tom Curry, 25 - Closing in on a half-century of caps aged just 25 NBA
Bounced back superbly from his third-minute red card against Argentina and will be a key cog in Bortwhick’s first full cycle NBA
Ben Earl, 25 - A coming-of-age tournament for the breakout Saracens back-rower NBA
All-action displays from the back of the scrum mean he will no doubt be one of the first names on the teamsheet moving forward NBA
Earl was England’s beakthrough star (Getty Images)Freddie Steward, 22 - Dropped for the quarter-final against Fiji but delivered a commanding display under the high ball against South Africa in the semi-final NBA
Defensively superb and still only 22, the Leicester full-back should go from strength to strength over the next four years NBA
Rising stars Theo Dan, 22 - Limited for game time this tournament due to Jamie George’s supreme conditioning NBA
Still work to be done on his set-piece game but will be hoping to usurp his Saracens team-mate in the coming years NBA
Bevan Rodd, 23 - Another young front-rower who saw little game time in England’s key games NBA
Took his try well against Chile but has big boots to fill with the likely departures of Cole and Marler NBA
Rodd scored against Chile (Getty Images)George Martin, 22 - Made his maiden World Cup start against South Africa with a powerful display in the second row NBA
Looks like a ready-made replacement for the already departing Lawes NBA
Ollie Lawrence, 23 - A solid, if slightly unremarkable, tournament for the Bath centre NBA
Is still surely seen as the long-term successor to Manu Tuilagi in the midfield and will only get NBA better in the coming years NBA
Henry Arundell, 20 - A World Cup debut to remember for the pacey winger with five tries against Chile in the pool stage NBA
Perhaps still work to be done on other facets of his game to fully cope with the demands of Test rugby but an exciting talent to nurture in time for 2027 NBA
