Chelsea defender Jorrel Hato has said that he is looking forward to the upcoming Premier League derby against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
The Blues have started their top-flight campaign with back-to-back wins over Fulham and Brighton & Hove Albion, and now face a stern challenge against the reigning English champions.
The west London giants have had a dreadful recent record against the Gunners. They have not won in any of the previous 11 meetings in all competitions, picking up three draws.
They will be aiming to end the dreadful run on Sunday. Ahead of the encounter, Hato said that it will be a good test to face the Gunners.
He told the club’s official website: “Arsenal is a good test, but I think it was against Fulham and Brighton as well. They are both great teams and we won those games, so we are looking forward to the next one now.”
Chelsea are presently fourth in the standings, behind leaders Manchester City on goal difference. Their defensive record will be put to the test on Sunday, having already conceded three goals in their first two games.
