Enzo Maresca says Arsenal have a 'complete player' ahead of Chelsea game

29 November 2025 - 19:42

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has said that Arsenal have a complete player ahead of the Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge tomorrow.

  • Arsenal set for triple injury boost for Chelsea?
  • Cole Palmer injury update ahead of Arsenal clash

  • The Blues are currently third in the standings with 23 points, six behind leaders Arsenal. Ahead of Sunday's game, Maresca has hailed Declan Rice as a 'complete player', who has evolved under manager Mikel Arteta.

    He said: "He's not playing as a holding midfielder. He's playing forward, he's playing, like Enzo Fernandez. It's a different position [from Caicedo’s].

    "It's evolution for him and it's Mikel [Arteta]'s work. He is a fantastic player, and he's a complete player. He can defend, he can attack, he can do anything."

    The Blues have not beaten the Gunners since 2021 and are winless in the derby at home since 2018. They have the opportunity to end the streak tomorrow.

    If they manage to do so, it would send a huge statement that the Blues can be considered as strong challengers for the Premier League title this campaign.
