Joe Cole has named his former club, Chelsea the most successful team in England in the last 20 years as they prepare to take on Arsenal. The Blues will host Premier League leaders Arsenal in a crunch match this summer as both clubs attempt to keep their title hopes alive. Arsenal has made a stunning start to this season and they are considered the favourites to win the league title at this start of the season. However, the Gunners have not won the Premier League since 2004 and their current form does not mean they have become a successful team yet. Cole said via Matchplug: ‘I do like what they’re doing.
