Theo Walcott: 'Arsenal must play with no fear'

Theo Walcott has said that Arsenal need to play with "no fear" in their match against Chelsea in the Premier League.

The Gunners travel to the reigning champions tomorrow, knowing that Jose Mourinho's side have lost their last two league outings, while winning just once in five fixtures so far this season.

The England international told the club's website: "I think we need to play with no fear. You can see how Chelsea have started the season, no-one has given them any respite on the ball at all, and I think we need to be exactly the same like that.

"We're playing with confidence, I know we had that result the other, but in the Premier League we've been getting positive results. Chelsea need to reach in a good way, so they are going to need to come for us and that could play into our hands maybe.

"Everyone will be fighting for it, we want to have a different result to in previous years there. People say [the win in the Community Shield] was only the Community Shield, but the Community Shield is a competitive match. It's always nice to win these big games."

Arsenal have won just one of their last seven matches at Stamford Bridge.
