Relive Arsenal v Chelsea: Result, goals and stats as Merino goal gives Gunners 1-0 win

Arsenal may have made progress in the Champions League this week but their Premier League form is poor.

Mikel Arteta’s men have not won a league game in a month – since a 2-0 win at Leicester on February 15. That has effectively handed the title to Liverpool and Arsenal’s focus is now on securing a place in next season’s Champions League.

That would’ve seemed a formality two months ago but they are now just six points ahead of fourth-placed Chelsea, who arrive at the Emirates in confident mood after four successive wins in all competitions.

This will be another good test for Enzo Maresca’s developing team.
