Before the international break, the Blues recorded back-to-back wins for the first time since March with victories over Fulham and Burnley.
Arsenal travel to Stamford Bridge, joint top of the Premier League alongside rivals Tottenham.
Last season, Mikel Arteta’s men defeated Chelsea both home and away.
But Desailly believes the Gunners may underestimate Chelsea.
“It looks impossible, but I’ll go for a 3-1 win [to Chelsea].
“Why not? This is the beauty of the Premier League.
