Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta hopes Chelsea can stand by manager Frank Lampard.
With Chelsea's dramatic form slide, pressure is growing on Lampard.
But Arteta says: “I have known Frank Lampard for years, and spent time with him. I would like Chelsea to support him and give him a chance. He has enormous experience as a player, he's an icon there.
"He's done some great things, but you need time, and if there's something we don't have this year, it's time to work.
"Fortunately, if the clubs see that what you try to do will pay off in the future, if they are a little patient and a few are convinced that we are doing things the right way, most of the time that pays off."
