"We've got some big battles in the middle of the park. Moises Caicedo versus Declan Rice, two top-class midfielders who have been superb for both clubs. Week after week, they're putting in man-of-the-match performances, and that's going to be massive for whoever wants to control the game."
"We have Saka against Cucurella, that's always a good battle. I'm not sure Saka likes the aggression Cucurella brings. Every Chelsea fan loves it, though, so hopefully he shows that same fire again on Sunday."
Arsenal travel to Stamford Bridge six points clear while both teams arrive in excellent form after recent Champions League wins. Key individual duels include Moises Caicedo versus Declan Rice for midfield control and Bukayo Saka versus Marc Cucurella on the right wing. Cucurella's relentlessness, aggression and energy are highlighted as traits likely to unsettle Saka. The match offers Arsenal a chance to solidify a title charge and gives Chelsea an opportunity to prove they belong among the Premier League elite under Enzo Maresca. Defensive improvements and combative full-back performances are cited as crucial factors.
