After the international break in October, we have a London Derby against Chelsea to win. The Blues haven’t had the best starts to the season and it seems they haven’t experienced the new manager bounce syndrome. The Blues have had difficulty winning games early on in this campaign.
However, before the international break, they managed to win two games in a row, with some claiming that this was the start of their comeback.But we’re ready to confront them, and the hope is that even if they think they’re finding their feet, we’ll burst their bubble and return them to reality. It will be unfortunate for Chelsea fans, but we have no choice but to wreak havoc on them if we are to maintain our unbeaten streak in the league.
Anyway, even if most of us are confident that they will not be a threat to us, Chelsea could put up a fight against us, according to Paul Merson.
Merson says their resurgent forward Raheem Sterling is a man we should keep an eye on because he appears to be back at his best, and if that is the case, he could be unplayable.
“Arsenal come to Stamford Bridge in a couple of weeks, and they will have a go at Chelsea,” Merson said in a Sky Sports column. “So, it will be interesting. But against the better teams, like Liverpool, who had a right go, those are the games they have played well in this season.
“So, it will be interesting. But where Chelsea are in the league, teams will not want to play them, as on their day, they can beat anybody, and when Raheem Sterling is playing like he did at Burnley, then he is unplayable.”
Our legendary midfielder may have a point, but I feel that if we play our game as we did against Manchester City, we won’t have to fear anyone. Instead, our opponents will have to fear us.
Bukayo Saka, William Saliba, and Gabriel Martinelli should be match-fit after the international break, and they could be vital in our victory over Chelsea, and I am sure that they will be making Chelsea suffer much more than Sterling could do to us!

If we reenact the second half performance against City, Chelsea will fall, 3 points will go into the Arsenal bag, and we gooners would have a great Saturday evening. Not even eleven Sterling’s would change any of that
Let’s go!
The pundit is right the former Man city man is as tricky as they get, he will go down easily in the box if touched too much for his liking, he did this time and time again for Liverpool and carries on at the Citizens.
He has this way of showing you the ball and toe it off at the opportune time as he initiates contact, he is a game changer that knows the final third like the back of his hand.
Now that he’s back to his best a mini revival has been touted at the Bridge,
One thing for sure Haaland will tell him he is in for his sternest test yet.
To keep Sterling quiet there is a very good case for playing Tomi at LB imo.
Good shout Grandad, I too think Tomiyasu is a better ‘defensive’ left back than Zinchenko.
I have a feeling we are going to dismantle chelsea
With the tight security we have at the back, we shall brush chelsea away.
Starling has turned to prime Messi because of an odd good performance against Burnley….
Imagine what hungry Martinelli will do to their defense
