Arsenal vs Chelsea: Premier League – prediction, teams, lineups
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso do battle in the Premier League for the first time on Sunday.
Former Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has expressed his belief that Chelsea made a smart move signing Emi Martinez this summer. Arteta, who sold Martinez to Chelsea in 2020, knows the goalkeeper well from their time together at Arsenal. He stated that Martinez is a top-class goalkeeper and his signing is a smart decision for Chelsea.
Martinez has since proven himself to be a leading goalkeeper, having spent time at Aston Villa before joining Chelsea. Arteta has no regrets about selling Martinez, but he is confident in Chelsea's choice. The two teams will face each other soon, giving Martinez a chance to showcase his abilities and possibly make amends for his former club's decision.
