Arsenal winger Noni Madueke is anticipating a thrilling encounter when the Premier League leaders face second-placed Chelsea on Sunday at Stamford Bridge.
Madueke spoke after helping the Gunners secure a 3-1 victory over Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night at the Emirates Stadium, where the 23-year-old also found the back of the net.
Looking ahead to the London derby, Madueke expressed excitement about returning to Premier League action.
“I can’t wait! You go eight weeks without the thing you love the most in the world, so you are chomping at the bit to just be on the pitch,” he told reporters.
“First versus second, they have got a top team, we are a top team, so it is going to be a good game.”
Madueke joined Arsenal from Chelsea during the summer transfer window, adding extra intrigue to the fixture.
Arsenal currently sit top of the Premier League table, with Chelsea close behind in second place.
