Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said that the Gunners can make another statement by beating Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday.

He added that the squad are super motivated for the upcoming London derby against Enzo Maresca's side, he said: "Those are statements that we are talking about every three days.

"After beating Spurs at home, then we have to make a statement against Bayern Munich, we’ve done that & now we have to go to the next one. We are super motivated for the game."

Arsenal have had a fascinating season thus far and a victory over the Blues at Stamford Bridge would represent a huge statement.

The Gunners are unbeaten at Stamford Bridge since 2018, but they have picked up draws in the last two visits to the stadium.
