(Reuters) - Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has found it hard to forget his side's humiliating 3-0 defeat at Arsenal in September and urged his player to make amends when the London rivals meet at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

The loss to Arsenal forced Conte to switch to a 3-4-3 formation which sparked Chelsea into life and the Premier League leaders won 15 of their next 17 league games to open up a nine-point gap at the top of the table.
