Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta remains optimistic about his team’s chances against Chelsea, despite their recent 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan in the Champions League. Arteta believes that if his players can replicate the intensity and effort they displayed in Italy, they have a strong chance of securing a victory at Stamford Bridge.

Speaking to TNT Sport after the Inter Milan match, Arteta said, “Despite the result, I was very pleased with how we competed. Our approach and the determination we showed were exactly what we need. If we bring the same level of performance to our game against Chelsea, I am confident we can get a positive result.”

Arsenal’s match against Inter Milan saw them dominate possession and create several opportunities, although they were ultimately unable to find the back of the net. Arteta highlighted the importance of maintaining that same level of focus and commitment, while also being more clinical in front of goal.

“We need to maintain the same intensity and focus, but we also need to be more decisive when we have our chances,” Arteta added. “Chelsea is a strong team, but I believe in our squad and our ability to rise to the challenge.”

The upcoming fixture against Chelsea is crucial for Arsenal as they aim to stay competitive in the Premier League title race. Arteta’s confidence and belief in his team could provide the motivation needed to secure a much-needed victory.
