Arsenal defender Rob Holding is adamant they can get their season back on track against Chelsea on the weekend.

Holding is hoping to keep Arsenal's recent record against Chelsea going when the two sides meet on Saturday.

Holding has been given the captain's armband in Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang's absence.

He expects a tough game against an 'exciting strike force'.

He told TalkSPORT: “The past recent history of playing Chelsea have been very good games – a few draws and a few wins so hopefully we can keep that run going.

“We know how exciting they are with the strike force and the players they've brought in.

“What Frank Lampard has done for them over this season and last season, he's got a real project to what he's building to what I think they're aiming to be and it'll be an exciting game and we have to respect them and play our game."
