Arsenal’s Twitter account names Mikel Arteta on Chelsea’s bench

We all know Mikel Arteta isn’t every Arsenal fan’s favourite player, but this surely counts as going a bit too far.

The Spaniard has not been a first choice for the Gunners over the last year or so, largely due to injuries, but the club’s official Twitter account made a bit of a booboo when announcing the teams for their match against Chelsea.

Arteta was included on the Chelsea subs bench – and if that wasn’t enough, the club even tagged his Twitter handle so he’ll have got a notification of the mistake.

Former Everton man Arteta is on Arsenal’s bench, so he’ll be looking to get the last laugh if he makes it onto the pitch.
