Mikel Arteta admits he has made a mistake by not playing Raheem Sterling in Arsenal’s last two defeats. Sterling, who joined on loan from Chelsea in the summer transfer window, was left as an unused substitute in Arsenal’s 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United at St James’ Park last Saturday.

Mikel Arteta says that his Arsenal squad are heading into their game against Chelsea on Sunday “really believing that” they can win the game and spoke on his side’s recent results against their London rivals.
