Glenn Hoddle has questioned Enzo Maresca ’s set-up against Arsenal, suggesting it inhibited Chelsea ’s main attacking threat Cole Palmer. The Blues, searching for their first Premier League win against Arsenal since 2021, went behind to Gabriel Martinelli’s second-half strike at Stamford Bridge.

Enzo Maresca spoke to BBC Sport after Chelsea's draw against Arsenal: "I enjoyed it, absolutely. The performance was good. We know them quite well and we competed pretty well. The performance is very important for us in this moment and it was good. We can rest now and go again.

After Chelsea's positive start to the season, Maresca admitted it's an exciting time for the club. He also noted with the talent available, average age and the strength in depth, they have a squad capable of dominating the English game for a number of years.
