Striker Robin van Persie says that his team have no fear of rivals Chelsea, who visit the Emirates Stadium later today.

The Dutch international says that the Gunners' recent poor run of form was not something to be worried about, and that Arsenal have enough in the tank to get a good result against the Blues.

van Persie said: "Everyone was waiting for us to fall down, but we're not going to fall down.

"Of course, we are going to lose a game in the season; maybe we are going to lose two or three; we're going to have a few draws, that's normal.

"When you play so many games you're going to lose some. But we know everyone is waiting for us to lose more games, and we're going to fall down. Not at all.

"I've been at the training ground every single day and I know what those guys are capable of.

"I'm not scared to face anybody.

"I know my team-mates are thinking the same. Chelsea have a good side, they play a different style to us, respect to them.

"We play our style and I think if we play at the top of our game we can beat anybody."

Joes-M is better than Avram Grant

i think van persie is right but we need the 3 utility players in this squad to face the blues and am confident we're winning the match and yes we are not scared to face any team cos they will be going down. we're going to shoot them down.
