Chelsea vs Arsenal: Marcel Desailly predicts EPL clash

Former France defender, Marcel Desailly, has backed Chelsea to claim an unlikely win over Arsenal in Saturday’s crunch Premier League game.

Before the international break, the Blues recorded back-to-back wins for the first time since March with victories over Fulham and Burnley.

Arsenal travel to Stamford Bridge, joint top of the Premier League alongside rivals Tottenham.

Last season, Mikel Arteta’s men defeated Chelsea both home and away.

“It looks impossible, but I’ll go for a 3-1 win [to 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,” Desailly told Gambling Zone.
