What a match this promises to be. A truly London classic for many reasons. Chelsea suddenly look like a team capable of anything; double,treble,etc. These group of players have been together for quite a while and they have formed a unique partnership on the field of play such that when it reasonates, teams are blown away.
Drogba is in top form and even if he isnt, Anelka has shown that he is getting better and peaking as a Striker. The New Diamond formation has given Chelsea a good balance.
Arsenal on the other hand are in superb form this season. While pundits would easily point at past seasons where Arsenal have shown like Stars only to fall out when it matters most, we must not forget that the Team has grown and would deliver much more than they did previous seasons. A good example to this is Alexander Song who definitely looks like a New Buy this Season. Denilson and even Fabregas have all Upped their game.
So what makes sundays game different from Chelseas last visit to the Emirates which ended 4-1 in favour of Chelsea? Are we likely to see a repeat of last seasons result or would there be a reversal in fortune for Arsenal against their Irrepresible London rivals?
One player makes this fixture very interesting and a must watch. Andrey Arshavin! He hasnt played against Chelsea since his move to the Emirates. He is a player for Big occasion. While Arsenal have beaten Chelsea in the past (|post Henry era), no player has given the Chelsea defence a lot to worry about. Arshavin certainly will. I tip him to score on sunday.
I believe Arsenal would be Up for this. Arshavin and Vermalen would prove to be the difference between Arsenal side this season and the previous.
I predict Arsenal to win this match 2-1. However, if Arsenal plays all the beautiful football but don't take their chances like they almost did against Standard Liege, then Emirates faithful should be prepared for an upset.
Arsenals pace would worry Chelsea's backline and with a bit more accuracy in front of goal, it would be a Comprehensive victory for the Gunners.
Who shares a contrary view and opinion?Say it right here.
