Striker Marouane Chamakh says that beating Chelsea to get a morale boost is more important than the three points it will bring.

To be clear, the Moroccan is not saying that the three points is not important, he's saying that the morale gained from the victory will in turn help the team in subsequent games.

Speaking to Arsenal TV Online, Chamakh said: "[Chelsea's game] is worth just three points like every other game but for our morale and in order to stay at the top we need to get a good result.

"We did not beat Liverpool, lost against Manchester United and Chelsea – away from home fair enough – but now we're playing at home, we need to beat Chelsea.

"Not just for ourselves but for our pride, we need to beat both Chelsea and Manchester United at the Emirates.

"I think we played really well [at Stamford Bridge], we dominated the game. But in the end we lost two nil, it's sad but that's the way it is. They played a tough but realistic game and we need to use this to win our home game.

"They are not in a good place at the moment and we need to take advantage of this because sooner or later they will start winning again.

"It will be good to take advantage of this month, month and a half of poor Chelsea performances because one man's bad luck is another man's good fortune."
