He was predicting the result with fellow pundits Paul Scholes and Ian Wright, with the latter obviously backing his Arsenal to win easily, calling a 3-1 home win.
Scholes believes Chelsea will take all three points though as he was a bit more upbeat on Liam Rosenior’s Chelsea side.

‘I fancy Chelsea. I think it could be 0-0. I think it will be a draw or a Chelsea win,’ Scholes said on The Overlap.
‘Arsenal only won the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final because Chelsea needed to get a goal late on and it opened up.’
Scholes’ former Manchester United teammate Keane has less faith in Chelsea, however, and says they will ‘do something daft again’, pointing towards their dismal disciplinary record.
‘They will do something silly and get a man sent off again,’ ex-United captain Keane said. ‘Chelsea will do something daft you watch.’
We’ll see who ends up bring right here, although I’m not going to bet against there being a sending off in this game, it’s quite likely to happen!
It’s vital for Chelsea that Moises Caicedo stays under control in the games in the next few weeks, for a very good reason connected to what you see above.
A year ago today there was major trouble brewing at Stamford Bridge as fans rejected Enzo Maresca’s playing out from the back philosophy.
