Arsenal youngster Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has promised to attack Chelsea’s defence on Sunday.
Despite injuries to many attackers, Chamberlain has vowed to attempt to beat the league leaders during Arsene Wenger’s 1000th game in charge at Arsenal.
“We do understand what happened there last season,” said Oxlade-Chamberlain. “Maybe we have got a point to prove there, we know this year we have got to step up in the big games and get some results in them this year.
“We’re really looking forward to that game. We definitely give Chelsea the respect they deserve but, at the same time, I have belief in my team-mates and we do in ourselves to be able to go to a place like Chelsea and set the tempo and hopefully take control of the game. There will be times in the game I’m sure when they have a spell, because they are a top team.
“It’s two good sides. They are going to have their time, we are going to have ours, we just have to make sure that when we do have our chances we make them count.”
