“A game of HEROS” “If Enzo Maresca can make this happen” – Eden Hazard makes ‘shock’ prediction on who will win Chelsea vs Arsenal clash
This weekend, Chelsea will play their London rival, Arsenal, at Stamford Bridge in a crucial Premier League matchup between fourth and fifth place in the standings.
The Blues enter Sunday’s play having defeated Noah 8-0 at home yesterday in the Conference League group stages.
Eden Hazard, a former Chelsea attacker, has made a prediction regarding the result of the Chelsea vs. Arsenal match at Stamford Bridge.
It’s interesting to note that Frank Lampard believes Enzo Maresca’s team will win at home, provided Cole Palmer is fit and in the starting lineup. Otherwise, he thinks it will be a score draw.
Eden Hazard told Chelsea247, “I don’t do this very often, but my prediction here depends on whether one player is fit or not – Chelsea’s Cole Palmer.”
“Cole Palmer is a creavtive player who can figure out how to win such games, you need such player to be fit and he will can create some assists or score goals”
“Martin Odegaard will be rusty after returning from his layoff with a brief cameo against Inter Milan in midweek, and Arsenal is concerned about Declan Rice’s doubt, but it is Palmer who holds the key.
However, Chelsea has a rather dismal record in their last six encounters with Arsenal. The Blues have faced their London neighbors in the Premier League six times before, with one victory, one draw, and four losses.
