With Chelsea struggling for form at Stamford Bridge, the visit of Arsenal comes at an unfortunate time for Rafa Benitez’ side.


Chelsea have won four of their last seven matches in the Premier League while Arsenal have an equally worrying record in recent matches. Arsene Wenger’s side will take heart from impressive away form in the league as they are unbeaten in their last 5 matches away from Emirates Stadium . Chelsea’s home form has been poor enough to warrant boos from the home supporters.


Predicted Lineups
Theo Walcott looks likely to start in the centre forward role for Arsenal while Demba Ba will likely start ahead of the unpopular Fernando Torres. Ba’s form for Chelsea has been impressive since his move from Newcastle and the Champions League winners finally have an outlet for their array of creative players.

Chelsea: Cech, Cole, Luiz, Ivanovic, Azpilicueta; Lampard, Ramires; Mata, Oscar, Hazard; Ba

Arsenal: Szczesny, Gibbs, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Sagna; Diaby, Wilshere; Podolski, Cazorla, Ramsey; Walcott.

With Mikel Arteta out with a thigh injury, it’s likely that Diaby will deputize (if fit)

Arsenal are 12 points behind Chelsea which is a worry for Arsene Wenger.

Chelsea have been in mixed form this season. After sacking manager Roberto Di Matteo in late November, the club has crashed out of the Champions League, World Club Cup (in the Final), and look in a precarious position in the League Cup.

Chelsea vs Arsenal promises to be a fascinating encounter. Rafa Benitez needs a big performance from his side on Sunday and will be eager to push Manchester City and Manchester United in the race for the Premier League title.

Always negative!

Am staking over 3.5 for this match with £30. Maga must pay. . Lol

The Arsenal I know can't win Chelsea dis season .... What am I saying....... They are both the same!

the match won't be an interesting one.

2 useless LOSSERS. F**ck WENGER and BENITEZ.

We have to stop Demba ba!!!!

So in real sense, it means that Arsenal is already out of premier league contenders
Na from Arsenal fan Mukina2 oooo

double defeat, back to back. ;Ddouble defeat, back to back.

mukina2 go cry for sunday

Na arsenal get dat match o..

i be chelsea fan but their form at home has not been encouraging.

this is my advice to Rafa; play the 2 strikers Torres and Ba together in the match.
Torres should support Ba infront. Torres can assist very well.

Mata,hazard,ramires,oscar wiill support torres and Ba

Luiz should provide support for them as he can pick up loose passes.

with this chelsea can win arenal.

chelsea must loose this match

i ve learnt to watch ball with neutral mind. chelsea nearly gave me heart attack 3 years ago. i decided to watch football with a relaxed mind and offer my criticism objectively.

if chelsea win ....fine if they loose ........fine

thats a good one. 4-4-2 but ur suggestion looks like 3-5-2 which will expose chelsea defence once the midfield is broken. with Girould and walcout chelsea defence will collaspe

3 points to The Arsenal!


Have to admit I'm a bit worried about Demba Ba. Dude can score.

Muki pls change my username to something else, I'm tired of using this misfiring username pls

As to the match 90min will decide but the absence of MIKEL to me will be felt that day because this guy:wilshere(the next plaayer leaving emirate to ....) is in form and with diaby returning the midfield has an edge advantage on Arsenal

anyway 90mins of action will decide.
