Chelsea v Arsenal Sunday 17 September, 1.30pm Stamford Bridge Sky Sports PL
Arsenal have not won any of the last 13 Premier League away games against last season’s top 6 and have lost on 7 of their last 8 visits to Stamford Bridge.
Wenger last tasted victory on the road against one of the big boys nearly 1,000 days ago when they saw off Man City 2-0 in 2015
The last time they lost their opening three league away games was in 1954.
Yeah hopefully we can staunch the bleeding and keep the loss down to one or two goals. As long as we just turn up and actually have a go of it, which rarely seems to be the case these days.
We’ll lose, obviously, but think this time will be one of the more standard losses, comprehensive but of the 2-0 variety, possibly even us getting on the scoresheet in a 3-1. No 5-0 or 6-0 this time, oh no sir
Still can’t believe I’m talking in these terms, but the inevitability about this fixture is all-encompassing Perhaps my patented reverse jinx is due another appearance
