Arsenal have chosen to wear black armbands for the Premier League clash against Chelsea following the recent passing of Sir Chips Keswick.

The lifelong Gunners supporter, who later joined the board and became chairman, sadly passed away last week with Arteta paying a touching tribute in his pre-match press conference. "To his family, very grateful," he said. "He was chairman when I was captain.

"He’s a person and a figure who was very well respected and loved around the football club. He’s done a lot to evolve and progress this football club and protect the values of the club. He needs to rest in peace now."

This is a breaking story. There will be more information to follow shortly.
