Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has suggested that his Arsenal counterpart, Mikel Arteta , may have been fortunate to keep his job at the Emirates after surviving lengthy spells of poor results. The Premier League heavyweights are due to meet in north London on Tuesday evening, with both managers desperate to win for different reasons. The Blues are in dire straits, with interim boss Lampard losing every single one of his five matches in charge since replacing Graham Potter. They currently sit a dismal 12th in the Premier League table, despite co-owner Todd Boehly sanctioning an unprecedented transfer spree over the past two windows. Arsenal, meanwhile, are in a rocky period of their own after dropping points in four consecutive league games, handing Manchester City a massive title boost.
