Scoring is a fine Art..and it has deserted us

Arsenal boss Mikel knows his team must hit back of the net

- 

MIKEL ARTETA has admitted Arsenal's lack of goals is a huge cause for concern as they prepare for tomorrow's crucial clash at Chelsea.

The Gunners have lost their last two away games without scoring a goal and have failed to find the net on the road in the Premier League since a 2-2 draw with Manchester City in September.

Arteta knows they must put that right at Stamford Bridge if they are not to lose yet more ground in the title race.

The Arsenal boss said: "The lack of goals is a concern because you need goals to win games and be consistent. When you don't win it affects the energy.

"The positive thing is there is nobody outside who wants to win more than me or those players.
