John Terry explains how Chelsea can hurt Arsenal

John Terry clearly wants Chelsea to win their match against Arsenal this weekend, with the former defender’s loyalty to the Blues well known.

The ex-defender knows Arsenal are the best team in the league and are defending champions in England for a reason. Chelsea therefore face a really tough test as they attempt to secure victory against the Gunners.

This is one of those games where Arsenal could get the victory, but they will have to get the job done on the pitch rather than assuming the result before the match begins. Chelsea are a strong team and have also made a good start to the league season.

The match brings together two rivals who have won their opening games, with both teams hoping to secure another victory. Terry knows Arsenal will be favourites, but he does not completely rule out a Chelsea win.

Terry identifies Chelsea’s route to success

The former Chelsea defender believes the Blues can cause Arsenal problems by targeting the wide areas. He feels Chelsea have players capable of exploiting the spaces around Arsenal’s centre-backs and creating opportunities on the counter-attack.

Terry specifically highlighted the qualities of Neto, Estevao and Morgan Rogers, believing their ability in those areas could be important if Chelsea want to hurt the Gunners.

The former defender also believes Arsenal can become more exposed when their defenders are pulled into wider positions. That could provide Chelsea with an opportunity to attack spaces and create chances during the match.
