Former Chelsea captain, Gary Cahill, has predicted the outcome of the Premier League game between the Blues and Arsenal this weekend.
The west London side will welcome their north London rivals at Stamford Bridge on Sunday for a showdown between the first and second-placed teams in the English top flight at the moment.
Arsenal are going into the game with just one defeat in the league this season, but that does not matter to Cahill, who is backing his old club to pick up all three points.
Cahill believes that Chelsea’s 3-0 win over Barcelona in the Champions League will give them the ‘sky-high’ confidence to tackle the Gunners.
“I don’t think there is anything Chelsea will learn from facing Arsenal,” Cahill told Sky Bet.
“They’ll be fully aware of how good they are and the strength in depth they have.”
He noted that the Blues do not fear big teams, “These are the games that you can’t lose if you want to go on and win a title.
“I think Chelsea will win 2-1 against Arsenal this weekend. I’ve got to back the boys, and they turn up against the big teams.”
