Chelsea raring to go against Arsenal: Courtois

Chelsea are looking to further dent Arsenal's already sagging run when they meet each other in an EPL clash on Sunday

London, September 13: Chelsea are relishing the prospect of facing Arsenal as they look to build momentum in the Premier League after a dominant win in Europe, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois said on Wednesday (September 13).

Arsenal were thrashed 4-0 by Liverpool last month and have already lost twice in four league games this season.

They beat Bournemouth at the weekend but Courtois said Chelsea were looking to further dent the title hopes of their London rivals at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

"It is good to face Arsenal now," Courtois, who played as Chelsea beat Azerbaijan's Qarabag 6-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday, told British media.

"Everybody is healthy and things are going well. We won at Leicester, won comfortably last night and will go into the Arsenal game with a good feeling," he added.

After a shock defeat at home to Burnley on the opening day of the season, Chelsea have won three league games in a row beating Tottenham, Everton and Leicester City.

"Do we feel like we are in a good place? Yes. Sometimes it is good to face a big team early. Last year it didn't work out against Liverpool and Arsenal, but this season we have already won at Tottenham," Courtois said.
