Arsene Wenger spoke to the media before kick-off against Chelsea on Sunday and admitted that Arsenal have to overcome the psychological hurdle that we have against the Blues.
For some reason, Arsenal find it impossible to beat Chelsea in the Premier League. We had the same issue with Manchester United and, for a time, Manchester City, but now it’s time to overcome that mental barrier, just like we did with all the others.
Speaking ahead of the match, Wenger said, “Yes, of course there’s a psychological hurdle.
“When you have not done something in a long time, it demands a special performance and that’s what we want to do.
“We’ll just focus on today’s performance and that’s what you want from the players.”
A win against Chelsea will put Arsenal back at the top of the Premier League table after Leicester beat Stoke 3-0 on Saturday and Man City drew 2-2 with West Ham. Not only this, but the message it will send could be huge.
As a fan, I don’t just want to scrape a win. I want to prove that we’re better than them and get justice for that 2-0 loss at Stamford Bridge back in September.
