Arsenal star named Chelsea player as his toughest opponent
Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli has named Chelsea defender Thiago Silva as his toughest opponent on the field.
Silva is the captain of the Brazil national team and Martinelli is set to play his first World Cup in Qatar. In a recent interview with Sky Sports, he said (via football.london):
The Gunners and the Blues have gotten off to contrasting starts to their league campaigns.
Mikel Arteta’s team are at the top of the table with 37 points from 14 games, leading second-placed Manchester City by five points.
Graham Potter’s side are in eighth spot with 21 points from 14 games. They have already changed managers, as Potter, the former Brighton & Hove Albion manager, was brought in after the club decided to part ways with Thomas Tuchel.
Chelsea will hope to get their campaign back on track after the FIFA World Cup break.
