Chelsea enters the upcoming international break following their second consecutive 1-1 stalemate in the Premier League. A point was earned at Stamford Bridge against Arsenal as a result of Pedro Neto’s equalising goal.

Following a 1-1 stalemate with Manchester United at Old Trafford last weekend, Chelsea once again recovered from a deficit to secure a point. The Blues secured an 8-0 victory over Armenia in the UEFA Conference League between the two encounters.

A number of members of Enzo Maresca’s squad will depart to represent their respective countries during the year’s final international break. Eyes will be fixed on a journey to Leicester City in the Premier League upon their return.

Maresca will make his first return to his former club since departing for Chelsea in the summer during the contest. In his inaugural year as manager, the Italian steered the Foxes to the Championship title.
