I'd think Arsenal would struggle against Chelsea, but should be able to beat Man U and West Ham without too much trouble.
Arsenal will struggle definitely against Chelsea for two reasons;
-Most players ( Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Odegaard, Granit Xhaka, Kieran Tierney, Thomas Partey, Ben White, Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe) are on international duty at the moment, they will quickly have to adjust to the playing style of their country, to be able to do well for country as a team, after the break which is two weeks, when they have returned, the chemistry players had and the momentum the club had before the break may die down, we may struggle again to get our swagger back.
-Secondly, for the obvious reason that Chelsea is still a very strong and focused club to play against regardless of the problems the management is facing, arsenal may play well like we did against Liverpool but still not win.
Of all things, i hope none of our players sustain an injury during the international duty, that will be a disaster at the point in the competition.
The second reason in my opinion is more acceptable, because it must be admitted that Chelsea is stronger than Arsenal. Even though Arsenal
can play well against Chelsea, I'm sure Arsenal will find it difficult to score goals. Because Arsenal lost in quality to Chelsea players, so against
Chelsea in my opinion, it was a calculated defeat. After all, it doesn't matter if Arsenal lose against Chelsea. The most important thing is that
against other teams Arsenal can win, so Arsenal can stay in 4th position at the end of this season. But next season Arsenal will have to buy
some players, especially strikers, it is a position that Arsenal need. Since being left by Aubameyang Arsenal no longer have a deadly striker,
if Arsenal want to compete next season with strong teams like Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool. Arsenal must manage to get a new striker
who is very prolific in scoring goals.
