N'Golo Kante has identified his France international team-mate Alexandre Lacazette as the key to Chelsea stopping Arsenal on Sunday.

Arsenal spent a club-record £52million to buy Lacazette in July from Lyon, where he found the net 100 times in Ligue 1.

The 26-year-old has adapted quickly to the Premier League too, scoring in wins over Leicester and Bournemouth.

And Kante, who impressed on his first Champions League appearance in Tuesday's 6-0 win against Qarabag, said: "I think maybe in England, you don’t know him very well.

"We have to be ready to stop him but the most important thing is the team and we need to win."
