Chelsea Londra vs Arsenal Londra
The English Premier League continued match this week 24 will present a Super Big Match between Chelsea against Arsenal, where the match will be held at Stamford Bridge. The narrow 1-0 defeat when they travel to Newcastle United headquarters in the last game yesterday was bad capital for the Blues while pulling the stronghold of the Gunners also failed to win with a 1-1 draw held by Sheffield United.
Unfortunately the defeat of Chelsea must be paid handsomely with the injury of Reece James in the match and Coach Frank Lampard is not certain to play or not. “Reece James has an injury in the back of his knee. I am worried about his condition, because he suffered an injury to his ankle at the start of the season. However, we hope James does not have a serious injury [so that he can play against Arsenal],” Lampard was quoted as saying on the official website Chelsea.
But Chelsea can still play Emerson Palmieri or Marcos Alonso to replace the role of Reece James. Turning to Arsenal who came with big ambitions to avenge defeat in the first round then when Arsenal humiliated 1-2. “This match is very important for us. We have to win this match to fight for the top four positions. [By beating Chelsea] we can approach the top four, so we have to win,” Arteta was quoted as saying on Arsenal’s official website.
Arsenal’s potential to get into the top 4 is still open mathematically, ranked 10th with 39 points they must be 10 points behind Chelsea, English Premier League competition this season is indeed very hot. Interestingly again Chelsea and Arsenal both swallowed 1 defeat in the last 5 matches, the condition of the two teams was good.
However Arsenal since under the care of Mikel Arteta, the Gunners are only able to pick just one win from the last 5 match days while Frank Lampard from the start of the season has played better. Despite losing to Newcastle United they are still superior in every game and with home advantage Arsenal will most likely collapse.
