Jamie O’Hara, an English former professional footballer and now sports pundit, has named the Chelsea player to break into the Arsenal team as the two heavyweights set to meet Sunday for the EPL clash.
Only Thiago Silva from Chelsea made Jamie O’Hara’s combined Blues and Arsenal team.
On Sunday, the two London rivals will square off at Stamford Bridge, with the visitors hoping to improve their chances of winning the Premier League.
O’Hara contends that no one besides the highly regarded defender is currently up to par, and that Arsenal are the superior team as Chelsea sit sixth in the standings heading into the weekend.
At center-back, Silva would partner with William Saliba in place of Gabriel Magalhaes, but O’Hara emphasised that Reece James would also make the team if he was healthy.
O’Hara said it would be no walk in the park in west London for Mikel Arteta’s men.
“Everyone’s talking about Chelsea, who have spent a lot of money, £275million. They should be challenging for the title.
“I look at Arsenal’s team and it’s a better side. Arsenal have got to take great confidence going into the weekend.”
