Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker has challenged the Gunners to prove they can fight their way back into the top four of the Premier League with victory at Chelsea.

Theo Walcott finally penned a contract extension on Friday to end speculation about his future and Mertesacker is in no doubt Arsenal have the perfect blend to secure a successful end to the campaign. "We have a good squad, good young players and experienced players, a good balance, but the most important thing is to stick together," the 28-year-old German international said. "We have young players who are vital at the moment for the team." Chelsea v Arsenal is live on Sky Sports 1 this Sunday. For more details click here.
