Arsenal legend David Seaman has given his prediction for the game against Chelsea in the Premier League tomorrow.
He told the ‘Seaman Says’ podcast that he can see a draw coming, although would not be shocked to see a display from Chelsea that announces themselves to the league.
Mauricio Pochettino is 24 hours away from the biggest challenge he has faced so far since taking over at Chelsea.
The title-challenging Gunners arrive at Stamford Bridge off the back of a victory over Manchester City, although their momentum has been halted by the recent international break.
This fate unfortunately met the Blues too, with them picking up back-to-back victories in the competition before seeing their players jet off to their various nations.
A number of Chelsea players impressed on international duty, with the likes of Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez taking headlines in their national media.
Seaman predicts Chelsea vs Arsenal
It remains to be seen how fit the South American duo in particular are for the game, with the Argentine only returning to training yesterday.
Their influence will be key on tomorrow’s game, although Seaman believes Chelsea have a chance to make a statement in the London derby.
He said: “It wouldn’t surprise me [if Chelsea announce themselves] because it’s teeing up nicely. Arsenal will have a lot to say about that.
“I’m going to go 1-1. I think it’ll be too tight for loads of goals.”
Chelsea are set to head into a real tough run of fixtures in the next few weeks, and points are going to be precious and hard-earned for a month or so.
Victory will see the Blues surely move into the top half of the season at last, as they look to bounce back from a dire 12th placed finish last season.
