Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is getting his side ready to face Arsenal in the Premier League.
The two teams are high on confidence ahead of the game on Sunday. The Gunners secured a fantastic win against Bayern Munich in the Champions League midweek, and the Blues did the same against Barcelona.
Both sides will try to win the London derby at Stamford Bridge, but Maresca is aware of the difficult task in front of him.

Enzo Maresca says every team will struggle to create a chance vs Arsenal
Arsenal have the best defence in the Premier League.
The Gunners have conceded just six goals in 12 league games so far, which is an incredible return. If things go their way, Arsenal will break Chelsea’s defensive record from the 2004/05 season.
The Blues will want to ruin that dream on Sunday, but Maresca has admitted that Mikel Arteta’s side are too good at the back.
The Chelsea boss has claimed that every club in the world will struggle to even create an opportunity against the North Londoners.
He said in his press conference ahead of the game, as per Football London: “For sure, they defend fantastically.
“Any team against them, they struggle to score goals, not only to score goals, but even to create chances. So it’s a team that they defend very well.”

Arsenal have a chance to make a big statement vs Chelsea
Everybody felt that this was going to be a massive week for Arsenal.
After the disappointing draw against Sunderland, the Gunners had games against Tottenham, Bayern Munich and Chelsea in the space of seven days.
Many claimed that this would be a make-or-break week for Arteta’s side, and so far, they have impressed by winning the first two games comfortably.
If Arsenal can go to Stamford Bridge and get a win there as well, it would send a huge statement to the rest of the league, saying that the title is theirs this season.
However, if they drop points, the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City will get some hope that they can chase the Gunners down.
