Arsenal vs Chelsea Preview: Arsenal Out to Prove the Critics WrongPosted by Arsenal Highlights in News, tags: 2010, Andrei Arshavin, Arsenal Sites, Arsene Wenger, Chelsea, fc, Football, goals, Gunners, Highlights (08/09), News, v, Video, vs
With his side hit by a number of injuries (England U-21 Gibbs recently joining the list), it is going to be a tough task for Arsenal to stop the league leaders. However, if the inspirational performance against Standard Liege showed us anything, it was that Arsenal is determined to win and Chelsea will not have an easy match. The Gunners are going to have to look out for Chelsea’s Didier Drogba as he is coming into this game with an impressive record. He has scored 8 goals in their last eight meetings. This form has been instrumental in helping the Blues secure a 7 recent wins. Arsenal’s weakened defense (without Clichy and Gibbs) has a strong chance of being exploited by the likes of former Gunners star, Nicolas Anelka, Ballack, Essien and Joe Cole. So, its buckle up time for Gallas & Co! Meanwhile, the Blues also have their share of problems with Ricardo Carvallho and Deco unavailable due to injuries. This is a great opportunity for the home side who, without Robin Van Persie, Bendtner and Wilshire, has been in good goal scoring form this season. Fabregas, Arshavin, Denilson and Eduardo will have to take charge and dictate terms from the onset or else there will be a stiff mountain to climb. If you go by recent form, Chelsea, with four clean sheets in a row (including a thumping 4-0 win over the Wolves in their last Premier League game), is favorite to win the game. However, Arsenal, like it has done all season, will fight till the end and is not going to leave any stone unturned as they have a great chance to prove the critics wrong once again. Live Streams:
