Mikel Arteta has sent a message to Arsenal fans ahead of the Gunners' next outing.
Arsenal will face off with Chelsea on Wednesday evening in a Premier League clash.
Ahead of the game, Arsenal are on a dismal run of form and have also seemingly lost both Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey to injury for the remainder of the campaign.
In turn, Mikel Arteta has urged Arsenal fans to give all their support to the players as they are still only young and are in need of assistance:
“Give all their support in the world to them, because they need it,” Arteta said when asked how he can help his players in the coming weeks. “They are 19, 20, 21 years old, most of them and that's what they need. We are in the same position where we were with one less game. “We have to play on Wednesday and we have to lift them up. And the task is big, but the opportunity is as well.”
Chelsea vs Arsenal
Should Arsenal lose to Chelsea, it will likely prove fatal to their chances of finishing 4th.
The north Londoners are currently three points off 4th-place Tottenham with a game in hand.
However, the game in hand comes against Chelsea and, as Arsenal have a dismal record against the big sides this term, it is hard to see Mikel Arteta's team getting anything out of the game.
Should they lose, they will be three points off Tottenham with just six games left to play. Arsenal's goal difference is also much worse than Spurs currently, so even if they win their game in hand, they will not overtake Antonio Conte's side.

Actually a good one, but if We’re playing with two strikers upfront I’d rather go with Pepe instead of Saka

Heaven helps those who help themselves. Arteta ought to know this basic truth. If he can explain why he LST Auba go and yet not sign a replacement I shall back him. Your vindictiveness has left all Arsenal fans and the team a laughing stock.

He shiped out all senior player and decided to have young boys who can't deliver
Senior players were old and slow for the new pace of EPL. Look at every other team and see how fast they play. Was correct decision but unfortunately we needed recruitments in Jan, which did not come. The problem is we haven’t had strikers that deliver goals for past 2 seasons, Auba and Laca included. Even the bottom teams had strikers who scored more than these 2. Look at Auba at Barca. No goals in last 2 games and 2 losses at home in less than a week. Perhaps his manic start has gone.

Jus if he wouldn't shipped out Guendouzi, he had a better cover for Thomas or at least if he would brought in someone in Jan.. Now we are laughing stock without our main focal point.. Play Elneny and Xhaka this game, he might play better thn Lokonga.
He was a problem child which was very unfortunate. Please remember that we don’t have the luxury of previous decades of having a large squad due to being out of all European competitions. The current squad is the youngest and least experienced so a top 4 this season was always more of a dream than a right. Our oldest player, Laca has been totally useless in front of goals and has probably cost us too 4. And he is talking up missing champions league when he can even score in domestic games.

How about if the club actually gave the supporters something good. Anything. The owner shut down the supporters trust. They continue to whine about the fans supporting them and blame everything but their incompetence when it falls apart. These guys are infuriating

That's better than a loss but only 1% chance of happening😭
I'm usually not so optimistic before games and especially against Arsenal but this time I am. I question whether Arteta is a good enough manager to handle the pressure when he hasn't got his preferred choice of players at his disposal. If Arsenal keep losing, it's actually a big win for the fans as it brings you closer to getting him sacked. It's baffling to see how much more Arteta has been backed compared to Emery. I know he was a former player and captain but this is ridiculous. It's as though the results don't matter at all

Arsenal needs a hitman, allowing Auba to leave without a perfect replacement was a mistake which can even cost them top 4 this season

11 loses so far even before the season ends and you want us to support the players who are being managed by a useless coach in you arteta. M wondering why the board hasn't sacked you yet.....this shows how useless and clueless the management for our club is. Our next game is chelsea and trust me, i expect another loss with a cricket scoreline

Chelsea is going to beat us 3: 0 on wednsday
Free 3-0 for Chelsea, u can’t win Chelsea playing with 4 kids up front, Nketiah, Saka, Smith Rowe and Martinelli. Crystal Palace and Southampton beat us 3-0 and 1-0 respectively. Chelsea beat them 2-0 and 6-0. So if u know what’s good for the just go there and park the bus to reduce the goals, and try play Elneny.
