Chelsea will host their London rivals Arsenal at Stamford Bridge as both the clubs try to regain their supremacy after a poor campaign last time around. Both of them missed out on the top 4 last season and have gone through a managerial change. Unai Emery has been dealt a tough start to his life at the North London club as after taking on last season’s runaway winners Manchester City in the first game, he now needs to set up his team for a tough away trip to West London.
Both the teams recently took part in an ad campaign where they were seen naming the greatest players in history from their respective sides. The names ranged from John Terry to Tony Adams to Dennis Bergkamp but the likes of Eden Hazard and Mesut Ozil took their own name. We believe it was a tongue in cheek remark more than anything. Though one can still make a case for Hazard if he decides to stay on with the Blues for the next few years.
Both the managers will be hoping for a big performance from their two important players. Hazard was introduced late in the game against Huddersfield Town and maybe this weekend we might see him start from the beginning.

The German midfielder will have a lot to prove as he has been lambasted for his poor performance for his country in the World Cup and even some of the Gunners faithful consider him a liability when he is on the pitch. Though we saw him put in a real shift in the game against Manchester City and if Arsenal wants to get the best out of him, they need to get him on the ball in the attacking third of the pitch. Both of them claimed themselves to be the best of their club and maybe now its time for them to ‘walk the talk’.
