Arsene Wenger 'forced to sit amongst Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will reportedly be forced to sit amongst the Chelsea fans during Saturday's Premier League clash between the two sides at Stamford Bridge.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will reportedly sit amongst the Chelsea fans during Saturday's Premier League clash between the two sides at Stamford Bridge.

Wenger will serve the third of his four-match touchline ban when the Gunners visit their London rivals, but the layout of the stadium means that sitting in the directors' box would be impractical.

The Frenchman is permitted to give team talks before the game and at half time and must also speak to the media after the match, all of which would be too difficult to do if he was sat in the box, which is located in the West Stand.

Instead, the Evening Standard reports that Wenger will be sat in the middle tier of the East Stand for the match due to the dressing rooms being situated on that side of the stadium.

Wenger will be escorted to and from his seat by stewards, while Arsenal will also bring their own security team to sit around the veteran manager during the match.

Arsenal travel to Stamford Bridge knowing that defeat will leave them 12 points behind runaway league leaders Chelsea.
