In their last few Premier League games, Arsenal have not been performing well, only managing to earn one point. However, Ian Wright, a former Arsenal player, is confident that they will leave Chelsea with a 2-1 victory. He believes that Mikel Arteta's team is in desperate need of a win after a disappointing run of results.
Currently sitting in fifth place, the Gunners could fall behind league leaders Liverpool by ten points if they fail to secure a win at Stamford Bridge this weekend. With their recent struggles, it is crucial for Arsenal to have a strong performance, but they will face a tough challenge against a resurgent Chelsea team under the management of Enzo Maresca.
On a positive note, Arsenal may have their captain Martin Odegaard back in the lineup after he made a late appearance in their recent Champions League defeat against Inter Milan. However, they will likely be without defenders Riccardo Calafiori and Takehiro Tomiyasu, and midfielder Declan Rice remains doubtful after missing their trip to Milan due to an injury.
Wright expressed the importance of a victory in the upcoming match, stating, "We need to win, we need to win. We're not scoring at the minute." He also mentioned that Arsenal has a good track record at Chelsea, but this current Chelsea team has a different "swagger." Despite this, Wright predicts a 2-1 win for Arsenal.
However, former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has a different prediction. He believes the points will be evenly split in a closely contested 1-1 draw. Neville jokingly added that he has predicted a draw in his previous games, but this time he is going with a 1-1 scoreline.
After Arsenal's defeat to Inter Milan, Arteta remained confident that his team has what it takes to beat Chelsea if they replicate their performance in the Champions League. He stated, "If we play the way we played against Inter, then we have a big chance to win against Chelsea." The Arsenal head coach also praised his players, saying that he is proud of their performance, which he believes is the best he has seen in Europe.
Despite their disappointment at not getting the desired result against Inter Milan, Arteta is hopeful for a better outcome against Chelsea. The team is determined to turn things around and prove their capabilities against a tough opponent. As the match approaches, all eyes will be on Arsenal to see if they can secure a much-needed win.
