New Delhi: Chelsea’s next opponent in the fourth round will be either AFC Wimbledon or Newcastle United, but for now, they have to focus on Saturday’s match against Brighton in the Premier League before taking on Gent in Conference League and Nottingham Forest. Maresca will be anxious to see his team continue their winning streak and go into the upcoming international break with confidence.
It’s interesting to note that since the beginning of May, no Premier League team has amassed more points than Chelsea, ten of which they have gained in their first five games of the current season. Currently ranked fifth in the table, Chelsea is just three points behind reigning champion Manchester City at the top.
This season, Chelsea has won all three of their away top-flight matches, although they have yet to experience victory at Stamford Bridge. In their last four Premier League home games against Brighton, the Blues have only triumphed once, and that came in their most recent match, a 3-2 victory in December 2023.
In the course of just seven days, Mikel Arteta’s Gunners had to endure tough road matches against Tottenham, Atalanta, and Manchester City. They blasted past League One team Bolton in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, maintaining their unblemished start. Arsenal and Leicester used to dread one other’s duels, but in their last five meetings, Arsenal has prevailed, frequently by a canter.
The Foxes are a significant underdog this weekend; only six Premier League teams have won their first game of the 2024–25 season under Steve Cooper’s leadership. They’ve had “positive” results in their last two league games, but on Tuesday they barely defeated League Two Walsall in the cup.
