| Arsenal lost at home against Man United in last week's big game and is more or less stick to beat Chelsea in this match at Stamford Bridge to join the title race. According to the Arsenal side here at the Swedish fans have Diaby, Eduardo, Vela, Merida, Gibbs, Djourou and Van Persie on the injured list. Diaby could be timely for the game and tried to match day.Chelsea leads the league, but missed the chance to extend extend the lead when a week lost two points away against Hull. Chelsea have fared quite well from injury and it is mainly the absence of Essien who is of the heavier kind. Bosingwa has been superseded by Ivanovic and the question is whether he had even taken off the site from the Serbs. Indeed, the last three meetings between Chelsea and Arsenal have underlined the current superiority of the boys in blue. Chelsea, of course, see this game as the perfect opportunity to kill off the threat from Arsenal. A second victory of the season over the Gunners - whom they swept aside 3-0 with brutal efficiency last November - would put Carlo Ancelotti's men nine points clear of the Wenger boys, and also preserve at least a two-point lead over Manchester United. |
