Former Scottish winger Pat Nevin, who is now a commentator, has shared his thoughts on Chelsea’s next Premier League matchup against Arsenal on Saturday, October 21. Well, Chelsea passed this ultimate test with a 2-2 draw against Arsenal.
Mauricio Pochettino and his team faced their toughest test of the season so far in this match, according to smart analyst Nevin. High hopes are raised as Nevin emphasizes how important this match is, describing it as a crucial yardstick for Pochettino’s skill as a manager and his strong squad.
“This is the best test so far for Mauricio Pochettino’s new Blues against a bona fide top side. Chelsea’s young and expensive side hasn’t picked up as many points as they would have wanted, needed or indeed expected. However, they still haven’t been badly beaten by anyone so their confidence levels should still be fine.” an article from sportskeeda.com shared.

Nevin correctly noted that the outcome in the centre of the pitch would determine the outcome of this upcoming match. The master explained that Declan Rice and Enzo Fernandez would have a huge impact and that the result of the midfield struggle may tip the scales.
Desailly’s prediction
Marcel Desailly, a former Blues player, has encouraged Chelsea supporters by projecting a 3-1 win over Arsenal this coming Saturday. Desailly’s faith in Pochettino’s team is evident while acknowledging Chelsea’s recent setbacks and Arsenal’s impressive form, which heightens the expectation of an entertaining match.
Gambling zone; “It looks impossible, but I’ll go for a 3-1 win. I’ll go for 3-1 Chelsea. Why not? This is the beauty of the Premier League. As soon as a team has a mental drop and isn’t ready for the intensity of a match, they can lose. When Arsenal players arrive at Chelsea, they may believe that it won’t be as difficult as it would at Tottenham, City, or eventually, Man United.” an article from sportskeeda.com shared.
