Of the game the retired France star tells Gambling Zone: “It looks impossible, but I’ll go for a 3-1 win [to Chelsea].
“Why not? This is the beauty of the Premier League.
“As soon as a team has a mental drop and isn’t ready for the intensity of a match, they can lose. When Arsenal players arrive at Chelsea, they may believe that it won’t be as difficult as it would at Tottenham, [[Man] City, or eventually, Man United.”
