The Welsh winger has been in red-hot form for club and country of late, and is hoping his side can reverse the 5-2 defeat suffered at the hands of the Gunners at the Emirates back in November, a fixture that saw former Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor sent off for Spurs.
"It's one we want to win," said Bale. "We started well last time and the sending-off was a problem. We want to rectify that score now and hopefully get the three points.
"We go into the game full of confidence, looking for three points to boost our hopes of getting into the Champions League. It's massive. We know how big it is - not just for us but for the fans."
The former Southampton starlet also acknowledged his recent goals return in recent weeks, having scored nine in his last seven games, but brushed off the inevitable consequences of being the man in form, with opposition players paying him extra attention.
"I'm starting to get used to that now. It inspires me to keep going," he continued. "I'm obviously causing problems if they (opposition players) have to keep taking me down."
