Chelsea v Arsenal LIVE: Latest score as Martinelli breaks deadlock in derby
Today, Chelsea will take on Arsenal at Stamford Bridge in a Premier League matchup. Both teams are currently tied with 18 points after 10 matches and are eager to move up the rankings following Manchester City's unexpected loss to Brighton yesterday.
Chelsea struggled to secure a frustrating draw against Manchester United away last weekend and lost the opportunity to move into third place in the standings. However, they could still reach that position if they manage to win here. On the other hand, Arsenal heads into the weekend on the heels of two consecutive losses, the most recent being against Inter Milan in the Champions League, and they currently sit 10 points behind the league leaders, Liverpool.
Arsenal will be looking to showcase their title aspirations, and facing a historical rival at Stamford Bridge presents an ideal opportunity for them. Meanwhile, Enzo Maresca’s team aims to capitalize on their initial success with a strong performance that makes a statement.
