DBasia.news – Joe Cole, a former Chelsea player, opened up ahead of the Blues’ match against Arsenal. According to him, Chelsea are still better than Arsenal.
Chelsea will host Arsenal in the 2022-2023 Premier League match, at Stamford Bridge Stadium, Sunday (6/11). Currently, the two teams are quite far apart.
If Arsenal are at the top of the table with 31 points, Chelsea are knocked out of the top five. Graham Potter’s troops occupy the sixth ladder with 21 points. That means, there is a distance of 10 points that stretches from Arsenal to Chelsea.
However, Joe Cole does not believe that Arsenal are still better than Chelsea. According to him, the positive trend shown by the Gunners this season has not produced anything.
“We have to be concerned about what is happening at Arsenal because nothing has paid off. Arsenal have set a high standard for themselves,” Joe Cole told The Sun.
“I love what they do. I enjoy watching Arsenal play which I haven’t said in a while. I love Mikel Arteta and what he does, how he manages the team and I like the young players.”
“Nothing significant has been achieved at Arsenal with a high standard, but they are on the right track. Chelsea have been fighting at a different level for the last 20 years. We have to say that,” stated Cole.
In fact, Cole didn’t hesitate to claim that Chelsea arethe best team in England in recent times. He is optimistic that the Blues will return to the top flight.
“Chelsea are the most successful team in the country for the last 20 years. I still feel Chelsea can do more than compete and quickly surpass Arsenal.”
According to statistics, Chelsea have a bad record against Arsenal. In the last four matches in the Premier League, the Blues have fallen three times at the hands of Arsenal. Meanwhile, another duel ended in victory.
