Former Netherlands international Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has predicted that Chelsea F.C. will take points off Arsenal F.C. when both sides clash in this weekend’s Premier League showdown at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal head into the fixture in a strong position at the top of the table, but their lead could be cut to just two points before kick-off if Manchester City F.C. secure victory away at Leeds United F.C. in Saturday’s late game.
That scenario would raise the stakes for Mikel Arteta’s side as they continue their title push.
Hasselbaink described Chelsea as an unpredictable side capable of producing big performances in high-profile matches.
He believes their qualities could pose serious problems for the league leaders despite the Gunners’ impressive form this season.
The London derby is expected to have significant implications at both ends of the table, with Arsenal chasing the title and Chelsea seeking consistency.
All eyes will be on the Emirates as the rivalry adds another chapter in what has been a tightly contested Premier League campaign.
