Arsenal - Opposition Views

Online Arsenal member 'The Doctor' has taken the time to answer some questions about today's crunch Premier League encounter.

The last time these two sides met, it was an incredibly-open game. Do you think today will be a similar style of match?

No, I think it will be much tighter today.

Chelsea have had a remarkable turn-around in fortune since Roberto di Matteo took over. What do you think has made them put this run together?

I think the change in manager has been the key factor, I didn't think AVB was a particularly good manager, Especially for not such a high profile job.

Robin van Persie is obviously Arsenal's main man, but there are worries over his future. Do you think the Dutchman will stay put?

Yes, I believe so, He's a Gooner from childhood, Loves Arsenal, his wife and children are settled in London and He has said that he doesn't wish to disrupt that.

Chelsea faced Barcelona on Wednesday in a gruelling encounter. Do you think this will affect the Blues players and their fitness, and will this play a big role in today's game?

Playing Barcelona is a tiring match to play in, I do not envy the run of games that Chelsea are on now, With Totscum, Barfa, us then Barfa again.... I think a few Chelsea players will be rested.

Arsenal look shoe-ins for a Champions League place, whilst Chelsea aren't even guaranteed a Europa League spot. Would you be happy with your season if you secured a top four spot?

Yes, I would seeing as I didn't think we would make the top 5 or 6, But I am not happy with the direction the club is going in general.

The summer is fast approaching and you would expect Wenger to spend in the summer. Which area would you like to see strengthened, and who would you bring in?

Attacking midfielder, I'd bring in a high profile name in the mould of Gotze, Sneijder or Kaka. Though none of those are likely to be honest.

Finally, what is your prediction for today's match?

I think Arsenal will win 2-1.

Thanks for answering our questions, and enjoy the game!
