Kai Havertz, the Germany and Arsenal striker, will face his former club Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday in a Premier League London derby. Havertz, who joined Chelsea in 2020 and left in 2023, won the UEFA Champions League in 2020-21 and the FIFA Club World Cup in 2021 during his time at Stamford Bridge. Speaking on JioHotstar, he said his first months at Chelsea were tough, with COVID-era empty stadiums, intense pace, and physicality shaking his confidence. After spending six years in England, Havertz said he would not change anything about his career path. Arsenal have started the new Premier League season with two wins and are set to take on Chelsea at home.
