Aaron Ramsey issues rallying cry ahead of Arsenal v Chelsea

Aaron Ramsey has urged Arsenal to start to prepare for the visit of Chelsea after Sunday’s goalless draw at Stoke City.

Arsene Wenger’s side moved back to the top of the Premier League following their 0-0 stalemate with Mark Hughes’s Potters side at the Britannia Stadium.

The Gunners are level on points at the top with second-placed Leicester City after the Foxes secured a point in a 1-1 draw with strugglers Aston Villa on Saturday evening.

Wales international Ramsey has already turned his thoughts to the game against the defending Premier League champions at the Emirates Stadium next Sunday.

We had to work hard for a point today. As always, thanks to our travelling fans for the support. Time to prepare for Chelsea #AFC

Arsenal lost 2-0 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season despite the west London side’s miserable start to the defence of their Premier League crown.

The Gunners haven’t beaten Chelsea in the Premier League since October 2011 when former Arsenal striker Robin van Persie scored a hat-trick in a 5-3 victory at Stamford Bridge.
