Ian Wright claims Mikel Arteta 'has been a bit unfair' to Rob Holding after he was dropped for Chelsea clash but admits the centre back's lack of pace has 'caused a problem' in the absence of injured William Saliba

Ian Wright believes Mikel Arteta's treatment of Rob Holding has been 'unfair', after the English defender was dropped for the Gunners' clash with Chelsea.

Arsenal beat the Blues 3-1 at home to put an end to their torrid April that saw them go four games without a win and hand over the momentum in the title race to Manchester City.

Part of the arrest in their charge for a first Premier League title in 19 years has been attributed to the loss of William Saliba, who has been absent since picking up a back injury against Sporting in the Europa League in March.
