Arteta: “Tough match, but a big chance for us"

Chelsea’s last trip to Emirates Stadium resulted in one of our best performances of 2023/24.

Leandro Trossard opening the scoring inside just four minutes before second-half braces from Ben White and Kai Havertz saw us earn a 5-0 win and derby day delight.

Frank Lampard’s Blues were mid-table at the time, but it was their only defeat in the last 15 Premier League games of the season.

Mikel Arteta isn’t expecting similar scenarios this time though, as we host Enzo Maresca’s side at 1.30pm on Sunday.

“I think it's going to be a very different game,” our manager said in his pre-match press conference.
