One of the biggest stars in the world wants to leave and has been through a lot. It has been three months since he became Manchester United manager.
That should help him prepare for a fixture that once again promises to be a big hit.
The 2000s were a time when Ten Hag was gripped by the epic encounters between Manchester United andArsenal.
"Top games, big history between the two clubs, both with incredibly good players and good managers, but it is now about Sunday, it is new, we have to build a future."
Who was he cheering on during that time?

"My team in England was always Manchester United, I always supported this club, from the past I loved watching Beckham, Scholes, and Ferdinand."
What if he only had to make one choice? Would it be the same team as the one that won the gold medal? He has a good laugh. That's absolutely true. There is a person named "keane."
His loyalties lie with the manager, that's no surprise. I respectArsene's philosophy, but he built all of this, and I don't like that.
Ten Hag won't let Sir Alex Ferguson define his era at this football club.
"I speak with him, and we are happy with that, so are his advisors, we are grateful, but now we have to build a new future, that is clear," said the Dutch.
The last few weeks have shown him how intense the scrutiny will be as he rebuilds the club. Did you enjoy your first 100 days? I want to know. Is it what you had in mind?
He smiles and says that he is not a dreamer and that he knew it would be a challenge. I haven't noticed it's been 100 days, but that's a good sign.
A football process is what I'm doing. I enjoy managing that on and off the field. It is good to have this experience and I enjoy it.
During our interview, process is a word that comes up a lot, and Ten Hag has already been busy in the action department. He made it clear to the player that he has to fit into his vision of the club and not the other way around.
If you want to go in the direction that Manchester United want to go, you have to be on the same page with me.
What is the best for the club and the team is something I have to ask myself. To communicate, I have to be clear.

I want to know if he would be concerned about using him in the big games.
If he does that, he will decide the games because of his capabilities, because he showed it last year.
The fixture throws up many irresistible sub plots. The pressure of being one of United's and the premier league's most expensive signings is something Antony will have to prove if he starts.

Ten Hag has no doubts. He can handle that. He loves football and likes to play it. He is a member of the Brazilian national team, a gold medal winner at the Olympics, and has played in the European Championship.
temperament and creativity will come from him. It's a new start for him and he has to adapt to the team and the high intensity, but I'm sure he'll adapt.
Antony and Lisandro were part of a £200m summer spend by Ten Hag as he looks to build his team in a very different way than the one he built at Amsterdam.
Does he feel like he's under a lot of pressure? What was it like to spend over $200m? He points to the process as he admits that it is a lot of money. We have to do things to remain competitive. Now that we have a squad with potential, we need to make a team.
There is a chance that Casemiro will be included in that team from the start. Is he ready to make a mark on the team? Ten Hag thinks so. He knows how to play big games.
This is what it will be. With five wins from five in the league this season, Ten Hag knows how difficult it will be to get a win against them.
There is no title at stake but Ten Hag and Mikel Arteta will know a lot more about where their teams are at on Sunday.
