Arsenal have developed a reputation for rising to significant occasions, particularly against familiar domestic rivals.A Tough Test at the EmiratesLiam Rosenior has already faced Arsenal twice in his role as Chelsea manager and will be determined to secure a positive result on this occasion. However, the task appears formidable. The match will take place at the Emirates, where Chelsea were beaten the last time the sides met, courtesy of a late goal from Kai Havertz. That outcome reinforced Arsenal’s growing authority on home soil.With Liverpool applying pressure in the race for a top-four finish, Chelsea cannot afford another setback.

Speaking via the Metro, he said, “The belief and everything that goes with winning against Tottenham in the way they did, I think Arsenal are just going to do the same to Chelsea and overpower them.“They’ll have too much for them all over the pitch. I’m still really not convinced by Chelsea at the back. Defensively, Rosenior keeps picking different personnel and they haven’t been great defensively, which has to change if they’re going to get into the top four.”His assessment reflects ongoing concerns about Chelsea’s defensive stability and highlights the confidence surrounding Arsenal ahead of this high-profile clash._____________________________________________________________________________________________ADMIN COMMENTSo here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans.
