Christian Pulisic earned some minutes on Boxing Day in a 2-0 home loss to Southampton, but now aims for a starting spot for Sunday’s London Derby at Arsenal.
The 21-year-old playmaker played 23 minutes at Stamford Bridge, however did not make much of an impact for Frank Lampard’s side. With the Blues sitting eight points clear of the Gunners in the standings, Chelsea will be favored to pick up a win at the Emirates this weekend. Pulisic has failed to score in six-consecutive matches in all competitions, but a date with struggling Gunners could be the match that sparks him forward into 2020.
Elsewhere, a pair of U.S. Men’s National Team veterans go head-to-head on Sunday as Geoff Cameron and Eric Lichaj square off. Tim Ream and Fulham aim for three points against Stoke City, while DeAndre Yedlin and Newcastle United try to bounce back after a midweek loss. Ian Harkes and Dundee United host Dundee FC in a local derby.
