Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny claims that Chelsea's English players run the Stamford Bridge club.

Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has claimed that Chelsea's English players run the Stamford Bridge club.

Player power at the Blues has come under scrutiny again recently after the sacking of manager Andre Villas-Boas.

Despite another managerial casualty at Chelsea, Szczesny believes that there is no threat of a mutiny amongst the players at the Gunners.

"I think some of the English players at Chelsea run the club, pretty much," Szczesny told the London Evening Standard. "They have had seven managers and it's a little bit different here. I don't think there has ever been danger of chaos with us this season.

"It's completely different at [Arsenal]. In the dressing room, we know that Arsene Wenger is the boss. Robin van Persie is our captain and a leader but in the dressing room we're all even.

"All the players believe in what the manager is doing. Sometimes things don't go our way but we believe in the way the manager runs the club and the way he wants us to play football."

Roberto Di Matteo has been put in temporary charge of Chelsea until the end of the season.
