Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is focused on Chelsea

Arsenal enter the clash at the Emirates on the back of a poor run of form. They are winless in their last four games and have managed only three points. However, given Chelsea's form, many have given the Gunners the edge.

Arteta, though, sounded cautious. He claimed that the Blues have a quality side in their ranks and will come into the game aiming to secure all three points.

Speaking to the media ahead of the Premier League match, Arteta said (via the Gunners' website):

“They are going to try to come to the Emirates to beat us. They have a great manager and exceptional players, so it is very difficult to predict what they will do because they can play in various ways with different players and different qualities as well. We are going to prepare for the game to win it, that’s it."

A win for the Gunners would help them keep their thin hopes of winning the Premier League alive. The Blues, meanwhile, might get a boost to finish their season strong if they manage to get all three points at the Emirates.
