Enzo Maresca says in-form Chelsea believe that they can "win against any team" as he prepares for their English Premier League home match against Arsenal on Nov 10.
The Blues have a poor record against the Gunners in recent years - losing four and drawing one of their last five encounters - but are above their rivals on goal difference in the league table ahead of the clash.
"In this moment, the feeling from us is that we can compete and we can win against any team," said manager Maresca, whose team hammered Armenian side Noah 8-0 in the Europa Conference League on Nov 7.
"But if you don't take it seriously and if you don't do the right things, also you can lose against any team. But for sure we have the right feeling that we're going in the right direction and hopefully Sunday we can give our fans a good day."
