Mikel Arteta is feeling ‘relaxed’ and ‘positive’ ahead of Arsenal’s must-win Premier League clash against Chelsea on Sunday, according to Paul Merson. The Gunners have struggled to capitalise on their bright start to the new season and can ill-afford to lose more ground in the race for the title.

Mikel Arteta says Arsenal will be looking to exploit the weaknesses of Chelsea rather than focusing on the specific threat posed by Cole Palmer. Arteta takes his side to west London after suffering two away defeats in the space of four days - firstly at Newcastle United in the Premier League and then against Inter in the Champions League.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has said they have a plan to stop Chelsea's Cole Palmer when both sides meet in the London derby. Palmer has scored seven goals this term.
