Among those who can’t wait for the all-important matchup are the Gunners' celebrity fans.

Here is a list of the famous stars rooting for Arsenal this coming weekend.

Arsenal's Celebrity Fans

1. Anne Hathaway

There's no bigger celebrity fan of Arsenal right now than Hollywood star Anne Hathaway. She showed her love for the Gunners in a remote junket for her new movie "The Idea of You."

Co-star Nicholas Galitzine gave Hathaway the update she was waiting for, mumbling "One-nil" as he checked his phone, per The Guardian.

"The Devil Wears Prada" actress couldn't hide her delight when she heard the scoreline. She double-pumped her fists and yelled "Love you" after hearing that Leandro Trossard opened the scoring for the Gunners in the game against Wolves.

Hathaway's passion for the North London club was enough for other Arsenal fans to anoint her as their queen.

2. Idris Elba

Elba is another celebrity who proudly identifies himself as a Gooner.

He has been an Arsenal fan since he was a child. When he was 12, he stood up to hooligans, proudly wearing his Arsenal jersey in a part of London that was known to be West Ham territory, per The Daily Star.

Elba recently participated in Arsenal and Adidas' "No More Red" campaign, a noble cause that aims to prevent bloodshed in London.

3. Jamie Foxx

Foxx proudly declared himself an Arsenal fan in 2016 when the Premier League side launched their new away and third kits at an event in Los Angeles, California.

The Hollywood actor shouted, "I am a Gooner", before Arsenal players Hector Bellerin, Nacho Monreal, and Santi Cazorla revealed their new strips for the 2016-17 season.

4. Daniel Kaluuya

Kaluuya rose to fame with his roles in the films Get Out and Black Panther. The lifelong Gunners fan got the dream gig, though, when he was offered the role of narrator for the Amazon documentary Arsenal: All or Nothing.

In an interview, he said that the best thing about being an Arsenal fan is that they are the best.

5. Robert Pattinson

Pattinson is another Hollywood star who loves watching the Gunners. He shared in an interview that the thing he misses the most when working in Los Angeles are the newspapers in England.

He explained that he missed reading the sports section of the UK papers, particularly news about his beloved Arsenal.

Arteta's record vs Tottenham

Sports Brief recently reported on Arteta's record in the North London derby.

He took over as manager of Arsenal in December 2019 and has faced Spurs eight times since.

The Gunners have won four of those matches.
