According to Joe Cole, Chelsea has a chance to finish ahead of Arsenal this year

Joe Cole, a former Chelsea player, is adamant that Graham Potter's team will surpass Arsenal in the Premier League.

Chelsea, according to Cole, have had the most success in England during the past 20 years.

Cole also mentioned that he likes Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and the way he conducts business at the North London club in his remarks prior to Sunday's Premier League match between Chelsea and Arsenal.

"We have to be very mindful of what is happening at Arsenal because nothing has paid off as of yet. Arsenal have set high standards for themselves," Cole said.

"I do like what they are doing. I enjoy watching Arsenal play, which I have not said for a long time. I like Mikel Arteta and what he does, how he sets up the team and I like the young players.

"Nothing significant has been achieved at Arsenal as of yet with their high standards, but they are on the right path. Chelsea have battled at a different level over the last 20 years.

"Chelsea are the most successful team in the country over the last 20 years. I still feel Chelsea can more than compete and go above Arsenal very soon."
