Arsenal vs Chelsea Match Preview

This question will only be better answered when the Blues travel to the red side of London to face Arsenal in one of the hottest local derbies in Europe this season.

Arsenal view: Chelsea match can brush away recent disappointments

Five years have gone down the line since Arsene Wenger last lifted the English Premiership trophy for the Gunners. After winning the title in 2004, Arsenal endured infinite moments under the pressure and the power of both Chelsea and Manchester United.

While Chelsea won the Premier League crown twice in a row after Arsenal clinched it five years back, Manchester United have triumphed as domestic champions for the past three years.

This season might be the time for the Gunners to reclaim their pride and authority over the rest of the clubs in England.

As things stands in the English Premier League table, the dream and the hunt for the title are still on. Arsenal are only eight points behind Chelsea and they still have a game in hand.

As statistics show it, Arsenal could cut the gap to only two points should they win their next two games – which includes Sunday’s super clash at the Emirates stadium.

It will be the perfect opportunity for Arsene Wenger’s youthful side to prove the club’s current philosophy which indicates that educated fresh legs can match experienced clubs such as Chelsea who are made of “old pensioners”.

Last weekend, the Gunners missed the chance of hitting up the pressure at the top against Chelsea, Manchester United, and even Tottenham as they lost 1-0 to Sunderland whereas those three teams all enjoyed emphatic wins.

Bouncing back with a significant victory is all that Arsene Wenger would wish for his side.

After Arsenal’s bad loss against the Black Cats, the French manager bemoaned his team’s lack of consistency and underlined the fact that stability was the ultimate key to success in the English Premier League.

General view ahead of Arsenal v Chelsea

The manner in which Arsenal will respond against Carlo Ancelotti’s Blues already provokes a lot of interest ahead of the big game on Sunday afternoon.

Arsenal, who have won all of their five home games in the Premiership this season, will definitely aim to make it six wins in a row at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners will be hungry to emulate Wigan and Aston Villa’s achievement of taking away all three points from Chelsea, but how difficult will that prove to be?

The Blues will certainly take a different approach than the one they had away to the Latics and Aston Villa earlier in the season. Therefore, Arsenal will definitely have to watch out for more aggression, professionalism, pace, and possession from the Blue Devils.

Above all, Chelsea’s proud mentality could play the trickery on the young Gunners. The Blues passed the test against Liverpool and Manchester United this season with good wins – controversial or not – against both of them.

As they dream of bringing the hands and shoulders down of all their bitter rivals, Chelsea will try to clinch an excellent hat-trick of wins against the rest of the big four by defeating Arsenal on the Gunners’ own surface.

The match promises to be breathtaking and full of categorized battles – psychological ones as well as tactical ones.

Chelsea will be playing the “catch-me” game as they currently occupy the first spot in the table. With all of their key players expected to be present on Sunday, the Blues might just have what it takes to reduce Arsenal’s ambitions into tears of anxiety and sorrow.

Meanwhile, the Gunners will have to find a way to cooperate with the absence of the injured Van Persie. The Holland international – who was influential for Arsenal against Chelsea at the Bridge last year – didn’t feature in his side’s defeat to Sunderland last week.

The Gunners produced no goals in that encounter and this failure to score will definitely not come at any benefit on Sunday evening.

For Chelsea, nothing else but a victory will put them in a more comfortable place at the top of the league standings.

Maintaining or widening the five-point lead that they have over second-placed Manchester United is a must for the Blues who aim to put their hands back on the English Premier League trophy.

Consequently, with all that is at stake for both teams, Sunday’s clash promises to showcase the most thrilling and exciting football battle in the English Premier League so far this season.
