Chelsea vs Arsenal: Throwback to When Gabriel Martinelli Embarrassed N’Golo Kante

• N'Golo Kante was surprisingly floored by Gabriel Martinelli when Chelsea and Arsenal met in 2020
• Kante stumbled and fell on the pitch as Martinelli charged forward with an Arsenal counter-attack that ended up in the back of the net
• Chelsea and Arsenal meet on November 6th, with the latter looking to maintain momentum at the top of the table

Chelsea and Arsenal will once again lock horns this Sunday at Stamford Bridge in a high-stakes Premier League match.

In recent years, Chelsea has faced Arsenal as huge favourites and have ended up living up to the tag. But this time around, one gets the feeling it is Arsenal's game to lose.

Mikel Arteta has overseen a meteoritic rise to the top of the table. As he makes the short trip across London, he will be hoping that he can pick up maximum points to maintain pressure on defending champions Manchester City.

Chelsea were presumed to be finding their feet under Graham Potter until last week's humiliation at Brighton. The Blues will be looking to bounce back immediately after they were displaced from the top four positions.

Remembering the epic N'Golo Kante fall

Apart from the Pierre-Emerick Aubamenyang euphoria, this clash also represents an opportunity for fans to remember when Gabriel Martinelli floored N'Golo Kante in the same fixture in 2020.

Kante, one of the best defensive midfielders ever seen, was left behind as Chelsea's players went up front for a corner kick. The corner taken by Willian was quickly cleared, with Martinelli latching on to it.

Ordinarily, one would expect Kante to stop the Brazilian, but the Frenchman had a tumble leaving the teenager clean through on goal. He easily beat Kepa Arrizabalaga to equalise for Arsenal.

Kante won't have a chance to right the wrongs of that encounter as he is currently out with a long-term hamstring injury. Martinelli, meanwhile, is enjoying a fine season, having produced five goals and two assists so far.

How Chelsea can beat Arsenal

Sports Brief has also reported that the notorious London derby involving Chelsea and Arsenal is upon us once again, with the two sides set for a mammoth clash on Sunday.

On paper, it is the visitors' Arsenal who are overwhelming favourites to clinch all three points as they seek to establish a wider lead at the top of the table.

This is against what fans have been used to in recent years as it has always been Arsenal looking to dent Chelsea’s title hopes in the past.
