The tables have turned in London. Chelsea has spent the best part of 20 years looking down on its local rivals in England’s capital city after being backed by Russian billions. But no more.
Chelsea’s head coach Mauricio Pochettino reacts during the English League Cup third round soccer match between Chelsea and Brighton at Stamford Bridge Stadium in London, Wednesday, Sept. 27, 2023. Arsenal’s manager Mikel Arteta gestures during the English Premier League soccer match between Arsenal and Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium in London, Sunday, Oct. 8, 2023.
Top players were shown the door as part of the process, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Mesut Ozil notable departures. The British government sanctioned the Russian oligarch after Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and Chelsea was sold to a consortium led by American businessman Boehly and private equity firm Clearlake for 2.5 billion pounds last year.Even after spending $630 million on players, Chelsea endured its worst Premier League season points-wise and failed to qualify for the Champions League.
Chelsea’s form has improved with back-to-back league wins against Fulham and Burnley and victory against Brighton in the English League Cup. But Arsenal, currently level on points with leaders Tottenham, represents the biggest test Pochettino has faced yet.Normal service has resumed on Merseyside. Liverpool is in contention at the top of the table once again, while Everton looks in store for another fight for survival.
