For Chelsea, the shift has been rapid. Questions around Enzo Maresca’s struggles in big matches last season still lingered, but a 2–1 win over Liverpool showed resolve. Their 3-0 midweek victory against FC Barcelona was the loudest signal yet that this new core can deliver under pressure. With Man City slipping last weekend, Chelsea now sit with a chance to cut Arsenal’s lead to three points.
Arsenal, meanwhile, arrive brimming with confidence. A 4-1 win over Spurs saw Eberechi Eze inspire the Gunners to victory with a historic derby hat-trick, and a gritty win in Europe over Bayern Munich reaffirmed their continental growth. With key players restored midweek, including Mikel Ødegaard, Arteta’s squad depth and game control look stronger than they’ve been in recent seasons. A win on Sunday could see Arsenal stretch clear by seven points, applying even more pressure to the chasing pack.
