With Chelsea leading Arsenal on goal difference, manager Enzo Maresca’s impressive start has the Blues eyeing another victory. Chelsea have lost just once in their past nine Premier League matches, their only loss coming against a strong Liverpool side. A recent 8-0 Conference League win over Noah added fuel to their confidence, as Maresca’s squad looks to break their recent winless streak in head-to-head encounters with Arsenal.
Chelsea’s offense has been more clinical under Maresca, averaging two goals per game across their last four home league matches. However, their attacking force depends on how well star forward Christopher Nkunku bounces back after the knock he picked up against Manchester United.
Arsenal’s only positive takeaway from their 1-0 loss to Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League was the return of captain Martin Ødegaard. Despite creating 20 goal attempts, they couldn’t convert, and that result followed a narrow 1-0 defeat against Newcastle, dropping the Gunners out of the top-four. It’s Arsenal’s first three-match winless run in the league this year, and they’re hoping to restore confidence, especially given their recent away struggles in the league.
Arsenal have, however, enjoyed recent success at Stamford Bridge, remaining unbeaten in their last five visits, winning three of their past four Premier League games at the Bridge—equalling their wins from the previous 20 matches there.
