Chelsea Starting XI Prediction vs Arsenal

The way that Chelsea FC manager Mauricio Pochettino has been talking lately, it’s starting to sound like an era of good feeling is coming. Or perhaps even starting up right now. For those unfamiliar with what political history officially calls The Era of Good Feelings, it’s a reference to the sense of national purpose and unity among Americans in the aftermath of the War of 1812.

Otherwise known, in U.S. History textbooks, as The Second War for Independence. Are the good vibes coming to Chelsea?

Well, as the Blues boss said right before this international break started, “we’re building something right now.” After falling as low as 14th in the table, Chelsea then rattled off three straight wins across all competitions. It certainly feels like its been forever since that’s happened.

Pochettino then later said, “very good things are coming.” Well, until we consistently see better results, it’s all just coachspeak.

And Poch is just doing his job, in saying all the right things.

Upsetting arch-rival Arsenal, the side that sat top of the table for most of last season, would certainly be a very good thing. What’s the Argentine’s winning formula for that?

Here is our best guess.
