ARTETA BUOYED BY PLAYERS' HUNGER

Arsenal boss says they can overcome slump; captain Odegaard could start against Chelsea
-
Mikel Arteta expects Arsenal to bounce back from their nightmare spell in their crucial English Premier League clash at Chelsea on Nov 10, after sensing his players' hunger during a team meeting this week.
Arteta's side are without a victory in their last three league games - losing twice - and have won just three of their last eight in the competition.
Beaten 1-0 by Inter Milan in the Champions League in midweek, hot on the heels of last weekend's 1-0 loss at Newcastle United, the Gunners are desperate to end their slump in this weekend's London derby at Stamford Bridge.
Arsenal were expected to challenge for the title after finishing second to Manchester City in both the past two seasons, and Arteta is confident his side will rise to the challenge of turning their season around.
"Obviously when you don't win it affects the mood and the energy. The positive is there is nobody inside or outside of this building who wants to win more than I do," he said on Nov 8.
