Manchester City isn't as strong as last season, which also contributed to Arsenal being able to beat them. It also was a home game for Arsenal. Chelsea is showing some positive signs as well, which means that I wouldn't be too sure if it will be any easier for Arsenal to beat Chelsea at Stamford bridge than beating Manchester City in their home stadium. They will be well advised to take the game as seriously and not expect a weak and erratic Chelsea.
Chelsea has some minor momentum as well although they haven't really beaten any of the stronger teams in the Premier League, but still the small momentum is there.
Yeah right. And in fact, if Chelsea can maintain their performance like in the last few matches then Chelsea can also make things difficult for Arsenal. Chelsea's performance against Burnley was really good. But Chelsea was able to get a good score in this match because Burnley was not a strong team like the other teams. So Chelsea's performance is still in doubt when facing a strong team like Arsenal.
But yeah, Chelsea being the host might be able to produce surprising results. Arsenal must not underestimate Chelsea. Because usually inconsistent teams are more difficult to predict. Because sometimes they play well or vice versa.
Ok that's right but there is still the game they played against Liverpool on the first matchday and it ended 1-1 with Chelsea having 65% ball possession and more shots on target. I know that right after that game they were tumbling again and performed way below their potential. But games like this one against Arsenal can be the perfect occasion for struggling teams to regroup and show what they are able to. Pochettino will do his absolute best to prepare the Chelsea team and a successful game would also calm down a lot of the discussions concerning Chelsea's problems.
