Arsenal’s next game is away to Chelsea on Saturday, a match the Blues will be determined to win in order to pull further away at the top of the table. A loss will end Arsenal’s title challenge, if it is not over already.

Fans are still angry at the Gunners’ performance on Tuesday, and let Oxlade-Chamberlain know how they felt in response to his message.
