Chelsea vs Arsenal preview
What difference does a season make? For Arsenal, it transforms them from ‘also-rans’ to genuine title contenders. Mikel Arteta’s men are currently top of the table and look like the only team capable of stopping Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. The Gunners have strengthened their credentials, winning four, drawing one match scoring 13 goals in the process.
On the other hand, their city neighbours Chelsea are currently struggling. The Blues’ troubles started when Russia’s invasion of Ukraine forced longtime owner Roman Abramovich to sell the clubs after being sanctioned by the British government. American businessman Todd Boehly bought the club. In the summer, Chelsea would spend over € 250 million adding players such as Wesley Fofana (signed from Leicester), Marc Cucurella (signed from Brighton), Raheem Sterling (signed from Manchester City), and Kalidou Koulibaly (signed from Napoli).
However, Thomas Tuchel failed to deliver performances which would lead to his sacking. He was replaced by Graham Potter, and while results have improved, they are still to find consistency. However, now Chelsea have the perfect opportunity to get their season back on track when Arsenal come visiting. Their last match against Brighton was a humiliating 4-1 loss, proving that Chelsea are still a work in progress.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are running like a well-oiled machine. The team is not reliant on a particular player, which makes them dangerous. Arteta took time but has now managed to mould the Arsenal squad to his liking. Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli have added five goals each, and the former also has five assists to his name, displaying all the traits of a complete forward.
However, for Arsenal to keep their title hopes alive, they must win even the tough matches if they are to be one step ahead of Manchester City.
