PHOTO:Chelsea are ‘physically and mentally stronger than ‘weak’ Arsenal and will push Arsenal all the way:Harry Redknapp

Former Spurs manager, Harry Redknapp believes Chelsea has all it takes to overcome Arsenal on Saturday, because in his own word, “ Antonio Conte’s side are ‘mentally and physically’ stronger than the Gunners”.
Arsene Wenger’s side have beaten the Blues just once in the last 11 meetings and even that victory came in a Community Shield win in 2015.
Chelsea’s defence of their title last season was the worst in Premier League history but the Blues still managed the double over their London rivals.
With Wenger  marking his  20th anniversary  appointment at the Emirates, the game is going to be a difficult one for Chelsea, but Redknapp thinks otherwise, backing Costa to inflict more misery on the Frenchman on Saturday.
He said:
‘Chelsea have had the Indian sign over Arsenal for the last few years and I’m sure Arsene Wenger and his players will be thinking about that,’


‘I still feel Chelsea are stronger mentally and physically than Arsenal. John Terry will be a big loss if he doesn’t make it but Chelsea are a more powerful unit.
‘Costa came on for Chelsea in their EFL Cup tie at Leicester and his movement was unbelievable. He was virtually unplayable — some of the runs he made were superb and Leicester couldn’t cope with it.
‘When he is focused, he has got that great ability of bending his runs brilliantly and timing his changes of direction to create space.
‘These days, he is looking like the kind of world beater he can be and Arsenal have it all on to keep him quiet if he turns up at Emirates Stadium on Saturday in that kind of mood
‘Costa won’t be far away from being leading Premier League goalscorer if he keeps going like this.’
