Gary Neville and Ian Wright predict the winner of Chelsea vs Arsenal in the Premier League

The Premier League fixtures don’t get any easier for the Blues this weekend as they prepare to take on London rivals Arsenal this weekend.

Chelsea have faced Liverpool, Newcastle United and Manchester United in the league in the last three games, achieving all three results in that time.

Their opponents will certainly not be arriving at Stamford Bridge in good form, and they were defeated in the Champions League last night by Inter Milan.

Mikel Arteta stated after the game they would beat Chelsea if they played in that way, no doubt inspiration for Enzo Maresca and his side as they look to pick up their first real big scalp of the season.

Gary Neville and Ian Wright disagree on Chelsea vs Arsenal result

The Blues will actually be going into this game above Arsenal in the league, however not everyone would have them down as favourites.

Gary Neville and Ian Wright were discussing the game on ‘The Overlap’, where they both predicted a close game between the two side.

Neville said: “It will be a draw. I think 1-1.”

Wright meanwhile said: “We need to win. We are usually pretty good at Chelsea. But this Chelsea team has a different swagger. I am going to go 2-1.”

Chelsea will first be in action tonight in the Conference League, as they look to defend their 100% record in the competition against Noah at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea concerned about Cole Palmer’s fitness

The real worry at the club at the minute is over the fitness of Cole Palmer, after he was hobbling at the end of the draw with United.

Maresca has said he is hoping that Palmer will be able to play, although admitted there would be an element of risk if he did decide to start him.

The likes of Joao Felix and Christopher Nkunku will be looking to prove their credentials to the manager if he is forced to look elsewhere for his creativity in the side on Sunday.
