JAKARTA - Chelsea will host Arsenal in the Premier League England continued at Stamford Bridge, Saturday, October 21, at 23.30 WIB. The Blues are determined to win this prestigious London derby match.

Chelsea have flashy capital. They won the last three matches against Brighton & Hove Albion with a score of 1-0 (League Cup), Fulham with a score of 2-0 (British League), and Burnley with a score of 4-1 (British League).

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino wants his team to secure three points again when they meet Mikel Arteta's side. "We are thinking of winning," said Pochettino, quoted from the club's official website.

The Argentine manager feels the match against Arsenal will be very difficult because the opponent is an unbeaten team.

With the quality of its managers and players, the Gunners are considered one of the favorites to win the English Premier League, even the Champions League this season.

"They are competitors to win everything, not only the Premier League but also the Champions League, and I think they are doing a fantastic job and it will be difficult," said Pochettino.

However, said Pochettino, this does not mean the Blues cannot do much because he believes his team is capable of performing their best game and giving Arsenal the first defeat of the season.

"But we also believe we can give our best and play a very good game," said the 51-year-old man.

In the match later, the London Blue team lost Armando Broja who were forced to join Trevoh Chalobah, Carney Chukwuemeka, Ben Chilwell, Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia, and Christopher Nkunku on the list of injured Chelsea players.

The pride of Stamford Bridge can be strengthened again by Malo Gusto after serving a red card sentence. Benoit Badiashile has also recovered from injury.

However, for Axel Disasi, Nicolas Jackson, and Reece James, Pochettino will see further developments from the three players whether to appear against Arsenal or vice versa.
