We can't deny the fact that this is one of the interesting games in the history of English Premier league. They've been rivals for long. Although, Arsenal has the highest wins in the total number of matches played, but Chelsea has been dealing with them in recent times. Especially when Arsenal had Arsene Wenger as coach, and Chelsea had Mourinho. Well, right now they've got new coaches who has never met anywhere before. The only match they've played against each other was the first league played in Stamford bridge. Chelsea were able to secure a win after a 2 - 2 draw in the first half. Sarri needs to prove he is the boss once again, while Unai Emery has been kept in a tight spot. He might lose the 5th spot on the league table if he didn't secure a win. Chelsea on the other hand would want to move further in the league standings. It's getting too competitive and no team would like to drop a point. This is definitely a match to watch.
Talking about transfers, the January transfer market hasn't really gotten enough players leaving and coming into a different team, but Chelsea were able to bring Higuain in on a loan. The Argentine is now in England and has been handed a jersey. There's a chance he will play tomorrow's game. If he plays, then Arsenal's poor defense will really feel his presence. No doubt, Arsenal's defense has been worse since the beginning of the season. Their match against Liverpool was a perfect example. If the defense isn't compose tomorrow, then Hazard and his other threatening forwards will give them a tough time.
Chelsea hasn't been great this season too; they've lost matches we'd expected them to win. They've drawn the ones we were expecting a win with a very large goal margin. So there's no assurance they would defeat Arsenal. It's a big match after all. Anyone could win.
Emery has always doubted playing Aubumeyang and Lacazette together. Perhaps he should play both players tomorrow. Arsenal really need to attack, and I'm sure they will do just that if both strikers starts the match. While Hazard and co threatens their defence line, Aubumeyang and co will threaten theirs too. Both teams has got great players, so determine the favorite to win isn't that easy here. Chelsea has a thousands reason to win and Arsenal has theirs too.
But in case you are sure of your predictions, you can drop them in the comment section below. Let's discuss before the match kicks off in Emirate stadium.
Until we meet next time..
