Wenger is hoping for a big performance from Ozil tonight when Arsenal take on Chelsea at the Emirates.

"I believe that he has a personality," said Wenger. "He works quite hard and is adapting to the physical challenges of the Premier League at the moment.
"Ozil looks to me like (Robert) Pires. It took a while for Pires to adapt to the physical side of the game.
"Once he had adapted he was absolutely amazing and Ozil is a similar type of player."
