Team Analysis
Chelsea
Antonio Conte’s men surely had a hard time outshining Liverpool this week and what’s more frustrating is the fact that they will come into this rally meeting another giant in the competition. With only few matches left the Lions will try to hold on in their current standing as the front runner this season.
Chelsea open-up the score as David Luiz found the net 25minutes during the first half, but wasn’t able to protect it during the second wherein an unexpected goal came from Georginio Wijnaldum. As frustrating as it may seem but Chelsea’s clash over the Reds have led into a draw result.
Struggling to find the open man in the field was the primary problem why Le Blues only steals a single point. Although they remain to be on top, Chelsea must ensure that they will be able to keep the 9-point deficit that they have over Tottenham and Arsenal.
Arsenal
Humiliation hits the Gunners after Watford outclassed them right at their home soil. Their visitors get to bag away two goals as they settle for a single one. Revenge will take place as they make their way on Stamford Bridge this weekend.
Arsene Wenger side needs to force his men to step-up their game if they want to redeem themselves back and snatch away the second spot against the spurs. More points are needed for them to keep their hope alive in UEFA next season. Alexis Sanchez will try to keep an eye on the net as he try to add more point for his name.
Confidence will rise considering the fact that Arsenal made an impressive hat trick on their first meeting this season.
Prediction
Both squads are hungry for the title this year, added the appearance on the international competition next season. With the poor form that Arsenal had in their recent match is the probability for Chelsea to win this rally.
