Haaland issues new Premier League title prediction ahead of Arsenal vs Chelsea
Haaland said Arsenal have built more cohesion than Manchester City as the league leaders prepare for a first-place test against Chelsea.
Arsenal hosts London rivals Chelsea at Emirates Stadium today in the first Premier League Big Six clash of the season, with both teams entering following strong starts to their campaigns.
While Mikel Arteta's defense has allowed just 0.5 xG this season, Chelsea's attack has produced 5.2 expected goals and ranks first for set-piece goals with three, setting up a clash of contrasting strengths.
Injuries to Declan Rice, Bruno Guimar, and Cristhian Mosquera complicate Arsenal's lineup, though Arteta could deploy Ben White, Ezri Konsa, Gabriel, and Riccardo Calafiori to maintain backline stability.
Chelsea has lost all five previous visits to Emirates Stadium, though Xabi Alonso's new-look outfit has won two of their last seven away matches, offering a sliver of hope for breakthrough today.
A victory moves Arsenal level on points with City, keeping them among early league leaders as Erling Haaland's squad holds maximum points from three opening matches.
