To add to the excitement, both London giants came into the derby with impressive results in the Champions League. The Blues destroyed Barca 3-0, while The Gunners defeated Bayern Munich 3-1.

Just two months ago, Enzo Maresca’s future was in doubt after Chelsea had won just four of their opening eight games of the season. However, the Italian has turned things around in a remarkable way.

Chelsea have won nine of their last 11 games in all competitions. In the Premier League, Tottenham, Burnley and Wolves have all been destroyed by the Blues without scoring a goal.

Ten-man Barcelona suffered a similar fate in midweek, as Hansi Flick's defence was ruthlessly ripped apart by Chelsea.

However, home ground is not always the favorite place for The Blues, as they have only won 44% of points in Premier League matches at Stamford Bridge since the start of the season.

Before the derby, coach Maresca happily announced that Cole Palmer had recovered from his injury and was ready to return, bringing new attacking solutions to the blue team.

On the other side of the front line, Arsenal successfully took revenge on Bayern Munich and became the only team in the Champions League with a perfect record after 5 matches.

Fans have been talking a lot about the Gunners' difficult run of games after the international break. However, Mikel Arteta and his team have passed the two tests against Tottenham and Bayern Munich extremely well.

Stamford Bridge has been a nightmare for Arsenal in the past. However, it has been more than seven years since the Gunners last lost at Chelsea in the Premier League.

Furthermore, Arsenal have won all four of their Premier League clashes with Chelsea, and with history backing them up, the visitors are confident of taking all three points.
