Rosicky awaits Chelsea

Tomas Rosicky has spoken of his excitement ahead of Sunday's Premiership clash with Chelsea at the Emirates. The Arsenal and Czech Rep midfielder is eagerly awaiting the top of the table battle on 'Super Sunday'.

"You can feel the match is getting closer. Everybody keeps talking about it and I am looking forward to it very much," he told iDnes.cz.

"This Sunday is eagerly anticipated in England. When you play against Manchester (United), Liverpool or Chelsea, it is always a special game. Now it is boosted by the fact that the first place is at stake," he continued.

"They [the critics] rather believe in that, they wish it. We lost our first game; that happens.

"I have to admit we played badly at Middlesbrough. Now, against Chelsea we must show it was an exception."
