Arsene Wenger hints at mental block vs Chelsea…

Arsene Wenger has admitted that Arsenal have a “hurdle” to overcome against Chelsea given our horrendous record against them in recent years.

We haven’t beaten them in the league since 2011 and haven’t even scored a goal against them in a competitive fixture since 2013; with both of those events coming at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea’s ultra-defensive tactics have hurt us in the past and Wenger admits that we must overcome the psychological block the players may have.

“Maybe we have a hurdle to overcome a little bit,” Wenger told Arsenal Player.

“It is what you call an inconvenient fact.”

Our starting lineup will certainly go a long way to deciding our performance which should be easy for Wenger to choose given Chelsea’s predictable selection.
