“Chelsea Don’t Need Eden HazardTo Beat Arsenal” Danny Murphy Says

Chelsea star player Eden Hazard is expected to make his first premier league start of the season when his side clash with Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

And former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy believes Antonio Conte does not need to risk the Belgian against their London rivals because the blues are superior to the gunners.

Chelsea have recovered from their opening day disappointing loss to Burnley after bouncing back to win four consecutive games in all competitions – the latest being the 6-0 Champions League thrashing of Qarabag on Tuesday at Stamford Bridge.

Belgium playmaker Eden Hazard missed the opening month of the season due to an injury sustained during the summer but has made substitute appearances against both Leicester City and Qarabag.

He is now in contention to make his first start of the term during the London Derby, and former Liverpool man Murphy thinks Chelsea are so better than Arsenal that Conte could trust both Willian and Pedro to finish Arsene Wenger’s side.

Speaking recently ahead of the premier league game, Murphy admonishes Conte not to rush Eden Hazard back, and that the duo of Willian and Pedro have been doing well together and have been winning games without Hazard.

‘Hazard..makes Chelsea a better team, but they do not need him to beat Arsenal.’ he said.
