Arsenal hero Paul Merson has backed his old side to come out on top against London rivals Chelsea this evening.
The Gunners are winless in four, drawing three on the bounce before suffering a 4-1 defeat against Premier League title rivals Manchester City last week. The Citizens now sit above Mikel Arteta's side in the current standings whilst also boasting a game in hand on the north Londoners, who will be desperate to get back to winning ways when they welcome the Blues to the Emirates Stadium tonight.
Frank Lampard's men haven't won any of their last eight outings across all competitions, a run that will stretch to nine according to Merson. Writing for Sportskeeda, he said: "I just don't see this being a hard game for Arsenal.
