Hello and welcome to football.london for live coverage of Enzo Maresca's post-match press conference.
Chelsea have just drawn 1-1 with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge thanks to Pedro Neto's stunning equaliser on 70 minutes. Gabriel Martinelli had put the Gunners ahead in west London but the Blues fought back to ensure the points would be shared.
Maresca's side remain unbeaten at home in the league and move up to third in the table following Nottingham Forest's defeat to Newcastle United earlier in the day. We will hear from the head coach any minute now.
Stay tuned right here as Bobby Vincent brings you live updates from Maresca's presser below...
Key Events
On being 'best of the rest'
Very happy. For me, we are behind this kind of club because they work every day with the last nine years with the same manager. It doesn't mean when we face them, we are not going to compete. We tried to win the game. Very soon we will win these kind of games.
On being third in the PL
It's nice, especially for the fans after the last year has not been great - or at least what this club is used to. For sure, it is something nice.
On the performances against the big sides
The team until the end was trying to win the game. I was more worried if the performance wasn't good enough.
More on the performance
Do you think we deserve to lose against Liverpool? No but this is football. The performance was good and that is important.
On whether Palmer playing was a risk
We didn't take any risks. He was a doubt until the end.
He's painful now but hopefully nothing important.
On Madueke reaction to being subbed
The problem is that when you change a player, they're never happy. We changed him. It's not only about Noni, it's about all the players. In that moment, we thought in a different way that Pedro with Timber would be more aggressive.
On the game
The performance was good. The game in some moments was open, anything can happen in both sides. We 100% deserved a point.
