Arsenal hero Jack Wilshere has admitted that it is a huge game for his former side when they take on Chelsea in the Premier League tonight.
The north London outfit have struggled recently, losing three consecutive games for the first time under Mikel Arteta. Arteta's side have now lost four of their last five outings, scoring just two goals in that time.
Next up for the Gunners is Chelsea and former England international Wilshere has claimed that it is a huge match on his Instagram account. "Big one tonight," his story read.

The Blues won their corresponding fixture 2-0 back in August thanks to first-half goals from Romelu Lukaku and Reece James and Arteta has admitted that his squad need to be at their best to overcome Thomas Tuchel's men. Speaking in his pre-match press conference, the Spaniard said: "We have to be at our best against the best team in Europe that showed last year what they can do with everything that they have and with the ability that we have as well.
"We're going to go there as always to win the match and that is going to be our intention tomorrow when we're at Stamford Bridge." Despite their recent downturn in form, Arsenal are just three points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur with a game in hand on Antonio Conte and Co. The Gunners still need to play their local rivals later this season, as well as sixth-placed Manchester United and West Ham United, who currently sit seventh.
