Arsenal legend, Paul Merson has named Chelsea’s Moises Caicedo and Arsenal’s Declan Rice as the two best midfielders in the world at the moment.
Merson spoke ahead of Chelsea’s Premier League tie with Arsenal on Sunday at Stamford Bridge.
“This game [Chelsea vs Arsenal] will also witness the battle of Moises Caicedo and Declan Rice, two of the best midfielders in the world,” Merson said via Sportskeeda.
“I can’t wait to watch that battle! It will also be interesting to see what team Maresca will play.
“Could he be tempted into using a false nine like he did against Barcelona? Arsenal are better at the back, but I just think Chelsea can get a point.”
Caicedo joined Chelsea from Brighton in 2023, while Rice joined Arsenal from West Ham United.
