Gary Neville says Arsene Wenger picked hard-work and attitude over talent in Arsenal's 0-0 draw with Chelsea.

Alexis Sanchez was left on the bench, while Mesut Ozil was out altogether with a knee problem.

"Arsene Wenger made a difference," Neville told Sky Sports. "He chose attitude and hard work over talent.

"Iwobi and Welbeck did what Ozil and Sanchez didn't do at Liverpool. They attached themselves to the two central midfielders.

"When I saw Xhaka and Ramsey in this team today, I thought they would get bulldozed in midfield, however, Iwobi tucked in, making Chelsea go wide and Welbeck did the same on the other side.

"When you think about Ray Parlour and the job he did for Arsenal over the years of course there would have been more talented players than him but he put in the hard work and showed the right attitude.

"In big matches at Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson went with Ji-sung Park and Darren Fletcher, why? Because they were the most talented players at the club? No, but because they needed to show discipline and respect for the opposition.

"Wenger chose a hard-working attitude over talent. They got into the shape and did the job that we've been demanding from them over the last few years."
