Eddie Nketiah gives Mikel Arteta the green light to make surprise Arsenal decision vs Chelsea

Eddie Nketiah may have provided Mikel Arteta with the solution to Arsenal's biggest issue in the top-four battle - and that's to increase the firepower in attack for the remaining games of the season.

Last Saturday's 1-0 loss against Southampton was certainly a setback for the Gunners in their quest to qualify for the Champions League once again, as despite dominating proceedings at St Mary's, they paid the ultimate price for switching off at the back once as well as Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe missing big chances.

With Alexandre Lacazette not producing the goods - in terms of putting the ball in the back of the net - this season, that coupled with Arsenal struggling to create more big chances than the likes of Wolves, Crystal Palace, Leeds United and Watford has left Arteta acknowledging that he must come up with a plan to improve his side's goal threat.
