Roy Keane says one thing definitely won't happen during Arsenal vs Chelsea
Arsenal take on Chelsea in the Premier League next.
The two London rivals have started the new season well, winning each of their first two games. Mikel Arteta and Xabi Alonso look set to compete for the title this season.
Arsenal are the favourites to retain their Premier League crown, and a win against Chelsea on Sunday will make that much more likely.
Roy Keane has now had his say.
Roy Keane completely disagrees with Jill Scott’s Arsenal vs Chelsea prediction
Games between Arsenal and Chelsea have become a one-sided affair lately.
The Gunners are unbeaten in each of their last 11 games against the Blues, with their last defeat coming all the way back in August 2021 – over five years ago.
Chelsea fans will be hoping for that run to end on Sunday, and with Alonso, they have a manager who could potentially make that happen.
The West Londoners’ brilliant attack and poor defence have convinced Jill Scott that this is going to be a high-scoring game.
However, Keane doesn’t think that at all and has backed Arsenal to not give away more than one goal.
On the Stick to Football podcast, Scott said: “I think there will be a lot of goals in this.”
Keane immediately replied: “Not a chance! Arsenal aren’t giving up (many goals).
“Chelsea have a goal in them. Palmer will give a little slide pass. Arsenal have to concede an odd goal.”

Arsenal have the best defence in the Premier League
Arteta has turned Arsenal into one of the best out-of-possession teams in the world.
The Gunners are so hard to break down, and they rarely ever concede more than a goal or two in a game.
That was evident in each of the last three seasons, when they let in fewer goals than anyone else in the Premier League.
That trend looks set to continue this season, as in the first two games, Arsenal have conceded zero goals at an xGA of 0.57 – the best in the division.
It is likely to be tested against Chelsea, but we agree with Keane – we can’t see Arsenal giving up too many goals.
