“Yeah, definitely in a way,” Fabregas told PA when asked if he has split loyalties ahead of the match. “They are two great clubs that gave me a lot in my career.
“Obviously I was with Chelsea very recently.
“Three months ago I was playing with all these players, team-mates. We won a lot together, I had great times with the fans, with the club, so that’s definitely a big thing.
“Arsenal – what can I say? I spent probably the best years of my life there.

“The connection I had with the fans is something you don’t see very, very often.
“Even though we didn’t win as much with Chelsea, we didn’t have probably the team that we had here, but we competed very well, every year we made the Champions League, competing even in finals.
“If you ask me to choose, I think it would be impossible for me to choose.
“But, as I said, I have great, great memories with both teams.”
