Former Chelsea player Marcel Desailly has offered his prediction for the upcoming match between his former club and Arsenal this weekend.
Both London clubs have experienced different starts to the season, with Chelsea struggling to secure wins while Arsenal has maintained an undefeated status.
Arsenal secured a significant victory just before the international break when they defeated Manchester City, which has undoubtedly boosted their confidence going into the match against Chelsea. However, Chelsea has shown signs of improvement in recent weeks.
Despite Arsenal’s recent successes, Desailly believes that Chelsea will emerge victorious in the game.
He predicted, as quoted by Talk Sport:
“It looks impossible, but I’ll go for a 3-1 win. I’ll go for 3-1 Chelsea. Why not?
“This is the beauty of the Premier League. As soon as a team has a mental drop and isn’t ready for the intensity of a match, they can lose. When Arsenal players arrive at Chelsea, they may believe that it won’t be as difficult as it would at Tottenham, City, or eventually, Man United.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Chelsea and Arsenal have indeed delivered memorable encounters in the past, making it challenging to predict the outcome of their matches.
The upcoming weekend’s game is likely to be no exception, and it’s only natural for fans of both clubs to anticipate a victory for their respective sides.
Nonetheless, for our players, the key is to stay focused on their own game and make thorough preparations to secure all three points. The outcome will ultimately be determined on the pitch.

No surprise there from Desaiily.Has always hated Arsenal.Would kill him to have to tip us.Another bitter chav.Albeit a great player.
No surprise that he predicts a win for his former club. To be expected, however wrong he will surely be!
This is only a wish. But it’s possible if Arteta decides to play Havertz instead of Partey and Rice at midfield. With Thomas and Rice in the midfield, Arsenal will win the game
No shame to me as a fan to predict that, Chelsea will struggle to get a single score in that game. Should arsenal go with Saliba and Saka,that’s the end of it. A comfortable victory for arsenal is coming on Saturday.
There is a shock, an ex Chelsea player predicting a Chelsea win. Must be desperate for news to bother with that.
Great shock! But would you expect him to support the opponent despite knowing how stronger the opponent is? Victory is gonna go with stronger opponent, the obvious “opponent” 1-3
Chelsea of coming Saturday will surely not be Chelsea of 3 Saturdays ago .
