Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has challenged his players ahead of tonight's clash with Arsenal.

The Blues face Arsenal without Cole Palmer, who will miss due to injury.

"It is a good challenge if Palmer is not available. It's a good challenge for his teammates," he told The Guardian.

"If I was his teammate or played in a similar position to him, I would have wanted to show that this is Chelsea Football Club, not Cole Palmer Football Club."

In the Premier League, Palmer has accounted for 20 goals and nine assists this season.
