Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: 'We can beat Chelsea'

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has said that Arsenal want to "make a statement" when they face Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday.

The Gunners suffered a 6-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge last season, with Kieran Gibbs wrongfully sent off after Oxlade-Chamberlain had handled the ball on the line.

"It was a horrendous day," he told Arsenal Player. "You would like to say it was one that you forget and don't remember, but I'm sure it's one that I'm going to remember for the rest of my life.

"It was funny because I was always saying that I'd never played at Stamford Bridge. I'd been waiting a few years to play there. It definitely didn't pan out the way I would have liked it to.

"It's a great stadium and it's another great fixture. It's one that we'll really be looking forward to. Chelsea are the league leaders at the moment and one of the favourites to win the title this season. They are big competition to us so we'll be looking to go there and make a statement early on in the season. I definitely believe we can."

Arsenal have not won in their last six matches against Chelsea.
