​Arsenal boss Wenger to take his seat amongst Chelsea fans!

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will be surrounded by Chelsea fans when he sits out Saturday's huge Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge, reports Sky Sports.

Wenger serves the third game of his four-game touchline ban when the Gunners take on Chelsea this weekend.

Managers serving bans would normally sit in the directors' box but Chelsea's is situated in the West Stand, on the opposite side of the ground to the benches.

Instead, Wenger will be seated behind the players tunnel among the home support in the East Stand, where he will be escorted by Chelsea stewards and security personnel from Arsenal.

Wenger could be situated either at the back of the lower tier or in the front rows of the upper tier, but either way he will be able to give pre-match and half-time team talks and can also communicate with his coaching staff during the game.
