If Chelsea succeeds in beating Arsenal, the Blues will mark their comeback and end their current crisis of consistency, and hand Arsenal their first defeat. Reece James, Romeo Lavia and Axel Disasi are reported to be available again after recovering from injury, although they are still doubtful about being able to appear in the match against Arsenal. Pochettino will have a tough defensive line after experiencing a crisis so far, and acting as host at Stamford Bridge gives Chelsea another advantage. With Chelsea limited competition schedule this season due to missing the UCL and Europa League, Pochettino should be able to focus his attention this time, if successful Pochettino will be out of great pressure.
On the Arsenal side, I have no doubts about the quality and depth of Arteta squad this season, I know the Gunners are unbeaten this season, and even the victory over Man City is still worth celebrating. However, the competition for the top four in the standings will be even more exciting and interesting if Arsenal loses for the first time. For me it's not embarrassing at all to lose to Chelsea, when compared to Wolves victory over Man City.
You know, Chelsea will lose to Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, that's what I think. Arsenal is a better team than Chelsea, home advantage will not make Chelsea beat Arsenal easily. Chelsea could have stopped Arsenal if Pochettino played a total defensive strategy, but Arsenal is an aggressive team when applying pressure.
Chelsea cannot rely on a strong defense to beat Arsenal if they do not have a good striker. Arsenal's defense is relatively strong but almost the same as Chelsea, but I believe Arsenal has a squad that is difficult to stop. If you expect Chelsea to win, that's your right, but I'm sure that won't happen.
