This game and the next, Man Utd will look to close the gap. We need to win this game. Surely we can.

2-0 to us.

Anelka, Malouda scorers

We should go into each game with the same mentality that we will win. Of course Arsenal and Man City are big games, but I think they are winable and can extend our leed at the top. Man U are playing Portsmouth on Saturday, which I would think they will win quite easily, so that will bring them to 2 points behind us, so we definitely need a win against the Arse.

I get so apprenhensive before big games like this. Even if we go 3-0 up and are cruising, I likely won't accept that victory is ours until the final whistle is blown. Maybe not even for a couple of minutes after that. >_>

last match Arse - Chelsea

It will be a very interesting game thats for sure, the Gooners style may suit us to be able to open them up and create plenty of chances. Our defence will have to be on it's toes though because you can bet they will get their fair share of chances. A draw wouldn't be a terrible result away from home but the win will do us so much good and take us even further ahead of the pack.

At least the difference is that we play a team that wants to attack. That has been different in the league before :/. But in fact that's also exaxctly the problem, if Arshavin plays, wich is probable, i am, as always, worried about Ivanovic' lack of speed against that kind of opponents :/, we saw it against Nani, he even needed a yellow to stop Giggs in the game at stamford bridge this season .

I cant see much further than a Chelsea victory in this game, i think Drogba will terrorise the Arsenal defence and the Gunners are not the same without Van Persie in their attack. We should be bouyed by the return of Lampard, if this football blog rings true, and that should be a bog boost. I think we will have space to play our game against Arsenal, i agree a draw would not be a bad result but i relly fancy us sneaking a win.

Have you guys read the pre-match briefing at the clubs official website btw?

There are some pretty spicy comments in it...hope we don't get too much trouble with that :/.

He's injured. And Gallas is a doubt for Goons.

[millzy_chelsea_fan 4]

[diskoviolente 425]

shouldn´t underestimate Arsenal even tho they are without Van Offside....

that Fabregas should man-marked by Mikel with Essien going forward
