Summer signing Raheem Sterling could be a big factor for Chelsea as Graham Potter’s team take on the league leaders on Sunday hoping to close the 10-point gap to the top
Chelsea’s upcoming meeting with Arsenal looks huge for Graham Potter’s team after results last weekend saw the gap between the two teams grow to 10 points.
Potter suffered his first defeat as Blues boss, falling to a 4-1 defeat against former club Brighton, though the Blues rebounded in midweek with a Champions League victory against Dinamo Zagreb. Arsenal, meanwhile, remain top of the league after breezing past struggling Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium.
Raheem Sterling was on target on Wednesday, but questions surround the England star as he prepares to take on Mikel Arteta’s team. Here are the latest news lines from west London, including a prediction for Sunday’s clash.
Former Arsenal and England star Ian Wright has admitted to being confused by Chelsea’s use of Raheem Sterling. The 27-year-old forward has seen his task change since joining the Blues from Manchester City in a £50m summer move, and has scored just five times for his new club.
