A huge London derby beckons in the Premier League on Sunday with a win-needy Arsenal travelling to Chelsea.
Mikel Arteta has an excellent record against the Blues, with Chelsea falling behind the Gunners in their previous ten meetings against their capital rivals. Thomas Tuchel was in charge for their most recent triumph in this fixture.
However, they head into the weekend’s bout in more positive mood than the Gunners, who have won just two of their previous six games in all competitions. Arteta’s side are struggling for goals, and they’ve lost their last two games 1-0. There were positives to take from Wednesday night’s defeat to Inter, though.
Chelsea cruised to an 8-0 thumping of Armenian minnows Noah in the Conference League on Thursday with Enzo Maresca once again heavily rotating his side. They missed an opportunity to secure a rare win at Manchester United last weekend, settling for a 1-1 draw, but they’re ahead of Sunday’s opponents in the Premier League table on goal difference.
Defeat for Arsenal here and many will be writing off their title challenge.
