Chelsea -v- Arsenal Match Thread SS1 Sunday 4PM

JPA

I'm going to predict 4-1 to Chelsea.

Scoring At The Bridge
Money-Back Special
If John Terry scores at any time (including an own goal) Paddy Power will refund all losing 1st/last goalscorer, correct score & scorecast singles on the match.

The bet doesn't qualify for the special but I'm liking over 2.5 goals @ 5/6

If we defend like we did against United, Chelsea could easily get that themselves!

54 minutes to go.....

And I get the couch.

Arsenal team according to John Cross:

Almunia
Sagna Vermaelen Gallas Clichy
Song Cesc Diaby
Walcott Arshavin Nasri

Not bad apart from Arshavin up top again.

Le King

Looking at the Arsenal team I'll say 2-1 Chelsea. Too strong, for me. Let's hope I'm wrong.

Thats a full-strength defense and midfield - up front I'm not sure. I'd probably have Rosicky on the right because we know what he can do - be interesting to see Walcott up against Ashley Cole though I guess. Other than that the team picks itself.

with a proper striker i think Arsenal could edge it, thats not on the cards though need some big performances today

Come on the Arsenal!

leninbenjamin

Happy to see Diaby in there, but not confident at all...

MagicMarker

Really looking forward to this. I think Arsenal have it in them to get the 3 points.

Pepe LeFrits

Suspect Walcott is in there to try to discourage Cashley from going forward - first two goals at Emirates came from crosses from Chelsea's left.

Chelsea going 4-5-1 by the looks of it. Hope we don't stupidly play into their hands like we did against at home against them and United before. Need to be conservative, compact and try to counter.

Will be hoping for an Arsenal win today, expecting a Chelsea one. 4-3 and a couple of sendings off would be good.

SDTimeout

3-1 arsenal.

CHD's positivity is going to work counter here i hope :pac:

COME ON ARSENAL

Johner

Come on Chels!

Drogba anytime scorer 6/5 looks a good bet.

ShoulderChip

Didier Drogba has scored 10 goals in his last nine appearances against Arsenal in all competitions.

ShoulderChip

Cech;
Ivanovic, Terry, Carvalho, Cole,
Ballack, Mikel, Lampard, Malouda,
Anelka, Drogba.

Not the strongest of teams, will be interesting to see how Mikel does

Come on Arsenal!

Good, laws of probability suggest he's due for a game without scoring.

That_Guy

As a neutral I'd like Arsenal to win this. Would like a three horse race come the end of the season.

Hopefully a cracking game in prospect.

patrickc

cmon the arsenal....

Johner

COME ON CHELSEA.

Beer opened see you's on the other side!!

Quality tune... but anyway. Come on Arsenal.

I'm hoping for a Sagna->Fabregas Hattrick, with Malouda and Ballack setting each other up for 2

Drogba curse

ShoulderChip

Pretty freaking class

That_Guy

Poor from Song. Decent header helped on by Terry.

Man for man marking fails again.

amacachi

Another slapping coming up I fear. Song awful for the goal.

PHB

Jesus christ, talk about losing your man.

kenon

Nice movement from the drog.

SantryRed

Where was Clichy off to? He was on that post as the corner was being taken.

dreamers75

10 goals in 11 games vs arsenal :eek:


/or other way round :eek:

SlickRic

so, i reckon Chelsea might be able to sort out the goal difference Utd built up from yesterday if that defending's anything to go by.

That_Guy

What can Arsenal do now. They need the next goal or it's curtains.

Drogba - unstoppable this season
