The exciting battle to win the Premier League has no rest. The Arsenal of Mikel Arteta Saturday’s 0-2 win over Wolverhampton saw them defend their lead today at the Emirartes Stadium against Chelsea Mauricio Pochettino in an always fascinating London derby.
If they win this pending match, the Gunners will put pressure on their rivals in the title race: they will take three points from co-leaders Liverpool, who tomorrow face Everton in their derby at Goodison Park, and four from City, who have played less and on Thursday they visit Brighton.
“Winning gives a great boost of energy, we are ready,” he said. Arteta about the tough schedule, while praising Chelsea: “They deserve to be higher, if you look at what they’ve done, what they’ve done in games.”
The Blues are ninth and fighting to qualify for Europe after losing to City in the semi-finals of the FA Cup on Saturday (1-0). Cole Palmer, his great figure, was in doubt because of illness.
