Raheem Sterling makes Chelsea promise and gives honest verdict ahead of Arsenal clash

Chelsea forward Raheem Sterling is confident that his form will turnaround over time following a difficult transitioning period with the Blues.

Sterling has appeared 17 times for Chelsea in all competitions since his £47.5 million move from Manchester City in the summer and has scored five goals. His equalising goal in Wednesday's 2-1 Champions League win over Dinamo Zagreb was his first since the end of August after the forward failed to find the back of the net under Graham Potter.

Potter has struggled to fit the England international into his plans after arriving at the club with the idea of implementing a 5-2-2-1 used throughout his opening 10 games. In the club's first defeat under Potter against Brighton, Sterling vacated the left wing-back position behind the more advanced Conor Gallagher and Mason Mount. It didn't go to plan and Chelsea were thrashed 4-1.
