Chelsea v Arsenal: Can Wenger break the Mourinho curse?

It probably wouldn't be recommended to mention this to Jose Mourinho, but the man who scrunched up the formbook when it comes to Chelsea versus Arsenal was not actually him.
Mourinho might appear to have put some kind of curse on Wenger (the latter has never beaten the former in 11 attempts) but it was not the cocksure Portuguese who was in charge for the moment that flipped the nature of this fixture. That was Claudio Ranieri, his benevolent Italian predecessor.
Such is Chelsea's dominance over Arsenal these days, it's hard to believe that not so long ago the situation was completely reversed.
In the early Wenger years, Arsenal enjoyed a spell where they went 17 Premier League games without loss against the team from Stamford Bridge. They also had the upper hand in the FA Cup during that period, knocking Chelsea out in four successive seasons.
Then came the pivotal moment. In the spring of 2004 - which coincided with Roman Abramovich's decision to invite Mourinho, then the bullish manager of Porto, on to this yacht in Monte Carlo and thus giving the impression that Ranieri was a dead manager walking on the Kings Road - Chelsea shocked Arsenal in the Champions League with a late strike from former England left-back Wayne Bridge.
The hoodoo was over. "I am mad with joy," bubbled Ranieri afterwards.
This from a manager who had previously travelled across the capital to Highbury on the tube to watch Arsenal in the Champions League when Chelsea had not been regular qualifiers in the competition.
Strange though it may now seem, back then the managers of the two clubs had an amiable regard for one another. Coincidentally or not, Mourinho has never taken to either of them.
For Wenger, looking back over his 18-year span in London, this particular fixture can be split into two very distinct chapters, with that Bridge goal as the turning point.
Since then, trips across London to SW6 have been mostly very dispiriting for the Arsenal manager. That downturn reached its nadir six months ago.
Wenger was devastated by last season's harrowing trip to Stamford Bridge; the script could not have been any more excruciating.
After the big build up in anticipation of his 1,000th match as Arsenal manager, Chelsea eviscerated his team and the Blues supporters mocked Wenger by reprising one of Mourinho's callous one liners, chanting "specialist in failure" at him.
The experience proved to be the lowest of the low. "It was a massive, massive disappointment," Wenger says on the eve of his return to the scene of the crime. "I will never forget that day."
It was worse, somehow, than another defeat with a landmark feel about it, when Arsenal were thrashed 8-2 at Old Trafford in 2011 with a severely depleted team. "When we lost there we had no team on the day. We had nobody at the back so that was explainable," he says.
"The players will want to put things right at Chelsea after last season and will be up for it on the day."
So how do you block out sour memories? How do you alleviate any fear or a repetition? According to Wenger, it is all in the spirit of being a competitor. One thing Wenger refuses to do is feel defeatist as he journeys back into Chelsea territory.
He is adamant there is no need to dwell on the past. "Why?" he asks. "In life you must always think you are there to change what happened before, or you are fatalistic. A competitive guy is somebody who wants to make history and change what happened before. We have an opportunity to do that."
Preferred line-up

Goalkeeper

Chambers – Mertesacker – Koscielny – Gibbs

Flamini – Coquelin

Oxlade – Ozil– Sanchez

Welbeck

Re: Chelsea Vs Arsenal (2 - 0) On 5th October 2014 by 1025: 2:10pm On Oct 03, 2014
somebody told me that wenger divorced his wife because they were both playing inside their living room when the wife looked outside from the window and the wife turned and shouted; Drogba is coming here.
wenger ran into his bed room and after laughing, the wife went and told him it was a joke.
those who know wenger very well said he sometimes wake up suddenly in the middle of the night shouting, drogba again, drogba again.
an unconfirmed report said Adebayor was asked to leave arsenal when he shouted drogbaaaaaaaaaaaaaa after scoring a powerful goal in training one day.
i am seeing a situation where mourinho is playing with the mind of wenger by saying drogba will not play. wenger will faint when drogba will match to the pitch on sunday.
wenger has failed to win in 11 attempts against Mourinho so who knows this time around. but with flamini a candidate of red card against these chelsea slick boys. i am still wondering how arsenal will stop these boys and still score against chelsea but anything is possible sha. let us wait till sunday
