  1. Eden Hazard vs Hector Bellerin

After having a season to forget, the ex PFA player of the year, started this season just like he had ended the 2014-15 season. His creativity, pace and trickery will be crucial, if Conte’s side wants to bring back the league title to SW6. The one who will be taking up the responsibility to stop him, on contrary has started this season on a low.

After Mane got the best out of Hector on the opening day, he had recovered and put in some decent performances but was nowhere closer to the last season form, which earned him the applause and praise for being one of the best right backs in the premier league. Bellerin is crucial in building the attacks from the back and his clever forward runs are crucial for Arsenal’s success. But tomorrow, he would be faced with the task of stopping Hazard’s forward runs down the wing and stopping him from providing supply to Diego.

Both these exciting young players have good pace and will try to take on one another. Eden Hazard needs to be involved, If Chelsea wants to take away anything from Emirates. Even at home, they have suffered drastically vs Liverpool, when Eden Hazard struggled to get involved in the game, thanks majorly to good shift put in by Clyne. Bellerin will definitely try to keep Hazard on a back foot with his forward & overlapping runs. This is one of the five battles to look forward to in tomorrow’s derby.
