Storylines

Arsenal: Though Arteta rarely stints in his praise of fellow managers, he might never have spoken as glowingly as he did of Pochettino in his pre-match press conference, reflecting not only on how his former Paris Saint-Germain team-mate inspired him as a coach, but as a player too. “He has been one of the most influential people in my career,” said Arteta, “firstly as a player, he took me under the arm and looked after me as a little brother and he was a big part of the success I had in Paris.

“He has been a role model for me since that day, not only when I was a player but as a manger as well, when I had to make the decision to leave playing and start my coaching career, he had a big say on that and I will always be grateful.” Such warmth will temporarily cease at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, where Arteta will hope to be able to start his first choice front three of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli for the first time this season.

Chelsea: After a slow start to 2023-24 results were just beginning to turn for Chelsea prior to the last international break where they beat Brighton, Fulham and Burnley. Almost since the day Pochettino took over the Blues have been creating more chances and but for a few loose finishing performances they would have plenty more than the 11 points they currently have to their name through eight games.

Injuries have not helped them either though and there are doubts over the fitness of Reece James, Axel Disasi and Nicolas Jackson heading into the London derby. 

Prediction

This could be a closer clash than recent meetings between these two have been. A share of the points seems eminently possible. PICK: Chelsea 1, Arsenal 1
