Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri is cautious about declaring himself fully fit after he made his return from a fractured leg in the Carling Cup win over Liverpool on Wednesday night.

"The most important thing is not to suffer a relapse," said the France midfielder.

"The boss asked me two or three times during the game how I felt and I had to make a sign if I felt the slightest touch. But everything was all right.

"I was very satisfied with my comeback. After five months without playing, I had appetite, I wanted to get around the pitch and touch the ball.

"I thought that it would have been a little bit more difficult. We worked well with the physical assistant. Now, I need to play and play again."

Nasri is hoping his side can display the form they had before recent draws against AZ Alkmaar and West Ham.

"It was a small disappointment to drop two points while we led 2-0 at West Ham, he said. "We had the same against Alkmaar and we need to correct that but we were almost invincible for 10 games before that.

"Now it is necessary to win again in the Premier League. And there is nothing better than a derby against Tottenham. It's been a while since both teams met each other while so high in the table."
