Arsenal Stake Title Chase at Stamford Bridge Not since 1947/48 season had Arsenal had it so good in the English top flight. With 10 wins in 12 matches and sitting on top of the Premier League tab
Not since 1947/48 season had Arsenal had it so good in the English top flight. With 10 wins in 12 matches and sitting on top of the Premier League table, two points above champions, Manchester City, another big test lies in wait for the Gunners this weekend as they take a short trip to Stamford Bridge in a London Derby.
Electing to name a strong lineup despite already steering his side through as group winners, Potter witnessed Bruno Petkovic steal in and open the scoring after just seven minutes, but Raheem Sterling and debutant Denis Zakaria completed a much-needed turnaround for the Blues in the English capital. In contrast, Arsenal sought to recover from a European defeat with a Premier League win last weekend, and the Gunners certainly demonstrated a clinical edge that has been absent more often than not recently, putting five past Nottingham Forest without reply even after Bukayo Saka came off injured.
Arteta has led Arsenal to two consecutive triumphs at Stamford Bridge in the last two seasons – with a 2-0 win for Chelsea at the Emirates sandwiched in between – and a new club record could also be set for the Gunners, who are aiming to win three successive Premier League London derbies away from home without conceding for the very first time.
