"Believe it or not but a much better version of Chelsea will need to turn up. They will have to up their game from what we saw tonight to face Arsenal. Arsenal are not going to play like Barcelona did tonight. In some sense that's the acid test for Chelsea rather than the Barcelona game. We've seen enough of Barca this season it's been there week in week out to see, the poorest teams in La Liga have all had chances against them."
"So Chelsea beating them is not a surprise it's a great win but it's not a surprise if you watch La Liga regularly. If they do something similar to Arsenal then that's a huge statement because Arsenal are clear favourites to go on and win this Premier League. The statement for Chelsea has to be the weekend because Arsenal are a different ball game."
Complacency must be avoided despite Chelsea's one-sided Champions League win over Barcelona. A much better version of Chelsea will be required to face Arsenal and the team must improve on their Barcelona performance. Barcelona display inconsistent La Liga form, so beating them is notable but not entirely surprising. Beating Arsenal would be a far bigger statement because Arsenal are clear favourites for the Premier League. Chelsea possess a youthful squad with talented signings like Estevao Willian and improving players such as Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez.
