Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says the club does not need a “reset” despite picking up just one point from their last three Premier League games.
The Gunners were defeated by Newcastle United last weekend, following a draw against Liverpool and a defeat against Bournemouth.
The run of form has left the club seven points behind league leaders Liverpool, while a 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan on Wednesday means they currently sit 12th in the 36-team table. of the Champions League.
“I don’t think about [needing a reset]”Arteta said. “Nobody works harder than me, I guarantee you that.
“We don’t need a reset. In one particular respect we need to go from 95 [effort] to 100. I won’t tell you what that is.”
Arsenal travel to London rivals Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday.
Martin Odegaard, who returned from an injury absence during the defeat at San Siro on Wednesday, will be in the squad to face the Blues.
However, Declan Rice, who missed the game in Italy, remains a doubt.
“I have to be very vague about [Rice] because there is no clarity on whether he will be fit or not for the weekend,” Arteta said.
“He has not trained yet and it is not yet clear if he will be available.”
Arteta says that while Odegaard is available a decision has not yet been made on whether he is fit to start.
