Arsenal boss Arteta rallies fans ahead of Chelsea clash

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has sought to rally fans ahead of tonight's clash with Chelsea.

Arteta admits they'll need their supporters in the title run-in.

“I think that is related to the will to win," he said on Monday afternoon. “When you are see that you are not capable and you start to doubt, or the result starts to go the other way, it gets nervy.

“I cannot demand [from] them anything else then what they are doing, the only advice is just to transmit to the team that energy, that belief and drive them.

“Drive them when it is more needed and when there are some doubts, or when things are not going our way, because you can turn them around immediately - and energy is a massive factor to achieve that.

“I am sure tomorrow we are going to have an unbelievable atmosphere again and they are going to help us to win."
