Martin Keown questions Arsene Wenger's team selection against Chelsea

Arsenal should have started Danny Welbeck against Chelsea, according to former Gunners defender Martin Keown.

Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown has said that Arsene Wenger made a mistake by fielding Olivier Giroud against Chelsea.

The Gunners dominated possession against the league leaders but failed to convert their pressure into goals and eventually settled for a 0-0 draw.

Keown believes that Wenger should have utilised the pace of Danny Welbeck up front against the ageing John Terry at centre-back.

He told the Daily Mail: "I'm a big fan of Olivier Giroud but Arsenal needed to ask a different question of the Chelsea defence. John Terry and Gary Cahill are built to deal with players like Giroud and everything was played in front of them.

"If Danny Welbeck had played through the middle, his pace could have unsettled Chelsea. It's much easier to be compact when there's no threat in behind.

Arsenal sit 10 points behind Chelsea in the Premier League table.
