Mikel Arteta admits he will resort to 'praying' in Arsenal's mission to overturn Liverpool's nine-point lead at the Premier League summit as his side's winless streak continued at Chelsea.

The start of Arsenal's season has been ravaged by injury, compounded further yesterday as Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka both limped off – though captain Martin Odegaard started his first game in six weeks following an ankle injury.
