Arsenal has only won two points from her last three games to reach 15 points of the guide Liverpool, albeit with a match in his hand.

A long-term violation of Bukayo Saka at times dulled the attack skills of Mikel Aretetas Arsenal squad, even if she scored seven points in the first use of a circular-of-16-uefa champions League against PSV Eindhoven.

Declan Rice's 74th minute compensation in 1-1 draw last weekend against Manchester United achieved a 257-minute sterile patch in the league games.

And maybe for this reason, Areteta does not expect a repetition of the derby of the last year in the Emirates Stadium when the Gunners Chelsea beat 5-0.

“I think it will be a completely different game,” the Spaniard insisted. “I think the way you develop as a team is very impressive what you did with the coaching team, the amount of talent you have in the squad. So yes, a really hard match, but we were very lucky to win the game.”

The blues won two in the league and four consecutive games in all competitions after winning a tore victory in their UEFA Europa League round against the 16th series against FC Copenhagen.

But the domestic victories came against Southampton and Leicester, two sides that were increasingly intended for descent. On December 1st you have to return to a 3-0 win against the Aston Villa to find Chelsea's last triumph over an upper half, and they have lost four of their latest games against Manchester City, Brighton and Aston Villa.

With 14 goals and six templates, Cole Palmer remains the most influential attacker of the blues, but has not contributed directly to a Chelsea goal since January 14th. Finally, he was allowed to take a short break on Thursday evening, which came against Copenhagen at half -time.

These trends may be all view, the view of Enzo Maresca that there is still a considerable qualitative gap to close arsenal.

“You have been working with the same manager with the same players for five years, so the difference is very important,” said Maresca. “Our duty is to do our best and close this gap.”
