Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech insists there will be no room for sentiment when he returns to face Chelsea on Saturday - his first visit to Stamford Bridge since leaving the club in the summer.

After a successful 11-year spell at the defending champions, Cech moved across London to the Emirates and will step foot in the away dressing room for the first time this weekend.

Speaking to the Arsenal Weekly podcast, Cech admits: 'I have never played at Stamford Bridge in the visiting team so it will be a new experience for me.

This weekend sees Cech return to Stamford Bridge for the first time since leaving Chelsea in the summer

'I go to a familiar place but most important for me will be to win the game. That's the way it goes.'

Arsenal have started the season with three wins, a draw and a defeat, while Jose Mourinho's Chelsea are stranded in 17th with three defeats in their first five.

Blues fans will expect a result at the Bridge on Saturday lunchtime as they look to kick-start their Premier League season.

Cech, though, will be hoping to continue his former club's misery, and believes his knowledge of Chelsea and the stadium will be a help come kick-off on Saturday lunchtime.

'In a way it is nice that I spent so much time there,' the goalkeeper continues. 'That I know every corner of the stadium and the space, so for me there will be no surprises.

'Obviously it will be new to play against Chelsea but when you start playing the game the only concern you have is "can I play my best game and can we win?"'

Cech admits there is no room for sentiment, and says he will be concentrating on getting a result for Arsenal
