Chelsea vs Arsenal – Preview, and Prediction
Chelsea vs Arsenal – Gameweek No. 9 takes place on Saturday afternoon at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea hosting Arsenal in one of the two London derbies.
After a terrible start to the season, the Blues won three straight games in all competitions. They scored six goals in back-to-back road victories against Fulham and Burnley in the Premier League for two of these.
After losing an early lead at Turf Moor two weeks ago, Mauricio Pochettino can be happy with his team’s response.
Against Burnley, Raheem Sterling and Cole Palmer put on especially strong performances, and Nicolas Jackson, a substitute, also scored on the occasion.
However, this weekend’s matchup against one of the top clubs in the league will put Chelsea’s winning streak to the ultimate test.
Arsenal, who defeated Manchester City 1-0, will also be feeling quite positive going into the match. In the season’s derby, substitute Gabriel Martinelli celebrated his injury comeback with a late goal.
Now tied for first place in the Premier League standings with North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur are the Gunners.
In the first eight rounds of the season, they have only allowed six goals, therefore Chelsea’s offensive line will need to do exceptionally well to help their club win this game.
