Mikel Arteta wants his team to play against Chelsea’s “proud shirt”.
He said: “I think this is the pride of the shirts we wear [that motivates us], And we have to win.
“Winning will put us in a better position at the table, which will give us… the chance to complete the game where mathematically possible, but it does not depend on us at the moment.”
Arteta also poured cold water on reports suggesting that Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny will return to the UAE.
This is after former Gunners star Jack Wilshere claimed that the North Londoners’ failure was due to the club’s loss of “appropriate Arsenal”.

Mikel Arteta has warned his Arsenal players they will face one of the most “special” attacks in Europe when they take on Tottenham in Sunday’s north London derby.
Tottenham have scored 102 goals in all competitions this season after Harry Kane struck twice to seal a 2-0 win against Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League last 16 first leg in midweek.
Only Bayern Munich have scored more across Europe’s top five leagues so far this season and Arsenal boss Arteta knows Kane, Son Heung-min and Gareth Bale pose a formidable threat to his team’s hopes of winning at the Emirates Stadium.
