And so we visit the blues today in the early kick off at Stamford Bridge. Last season, we fell a bit short in the corresponding fixture but a lot has changed since then. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea retain their strategy of playing a high defensive line as they have done this season(as pointed out by ZonalMarking). If it so happens, then we maybe in for a very open, attackin g game from both sides with chances galore and possibly end-to-end football.
The team news is that Vermaelen makes it to the bench and Djourou is in the starting line up. The Swiss will most probably take up the right back spov and I hope he does well against the trickery of Juan Mata and surging runs from Ashley Cole. Alex Song or Mikel Arteta should help out Djourou as the right back area appears to be the weak link in our side and Andre Villas Boas will try to target it. the good news for us is our nemesis Drogba is suspended from the game!
Team Line ups:
Chelsea(4-3-3): Petr Cech, Ashley Cole, John Terry, Branislav Ivanovic, Jose Bosingwa, John Obi Mikel, Frank Lampard, Ramires, Juan Mata, Fernando Torres, Daniel Sturridge.
Substitutes: David Luiz, Oriol Romeu, Florent Malouda, Ryan Bertrand, Raul Meireles, Romelu Lukaku.
Manager: Andre Villas Boas
Arsenal(4-3-3): Wojciech Szczesny, Andre Santos, Per Mertesacker, Laurent Koscienly, Johan Djourou, Alex Song, Mikel Arteta, Aaron Ramsey, Gervinho, Robin van Persie, Theo Walcott.
Substitutes: Lukasz Fabianski, Carl Jenkinson, Thomas Vermaele, Emmanuel Frimpong, Tomas Rosicky, Andrey Arshavin, Ju Young Park.
Manager: Arsene Wenger.
COME ON ARSENAL!
