STAR FOOTBALL PREVIEW Sun: Chelsea v Arsenal

In an all-London affair at Stamford Bridge, Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea do battle with Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in the headline Premier League clash of the weekend, writes JOE CITRONE.

After a horrendous couple of years, it looks like Chelsea are back on an even footing again under Maresca. A win on Sunday would take them back into the top-four.

They will come into this game full of confidence as well after a thumping 8-0 win over FC Noah in the Conference League in mid-week, but will obviously be aware that this will be a much tougher challenge on Sunday afternoon.

Cole Palmer is a slight doubt for this one, which would be a huge blow for Chelsea, as is Jadon Sancho who has been absent in the last few weeks.

Meanwhile, Arsenal will be desperate to get their title race back on track with their prospects of catching Liverpool at the top of the table hanging by a thin thread after a run of difficult results.

In their most recent Premier League outing, Arteta’s side were defeated 1-0 by Newcastle United at St James’ Park thanks to a goal from Anthony Gordon.

Their misery was then compounded by a defeat in the Champions League with a penalty from Hakan Calhanoglu sealing a 1-0 victory for Italian giants Inter Milan at the San Siro.

If the Gunners were to suffer another defeat this weekend, the pressure might begin to mount on the shoulders of Arteta with a section of Arsenal supporters already starting to become restless.

And that’s why, with Arsenal in the form they are in at the moment, I think Chelsea look good value at 19/10 with starsports.bet.
