chelsea vs. arsenal: this will be war!

All soccer lovers all over the world are salivating already, every lover of the beautiful game are already poised for this cracker of immense proportions. They don’t come any bigger than this, a top of the table clash in a time in the premiership when one slip could mean the difference between winning and losing the premiership trophy.

It all started in the first half of the premiership when Chelsea were beaten 2:0 by Arsenal at the emirates stadium, helping to push Chelsea further down the top of the table, I remember that was not the best of times for a Chelsea team still reeling from the vacuum created by the exit of the controversial Jose Mourinho. On that day at the emirates, Chelsea were clearly outclassed and outplayed by the younger, sharper boys of Arsenal who were much at ease with their game.

Today’s match will be a little different because it seems it is Arsenal that is more at pressure, having suffered a loss of form of late. Their goal scoring prowess has become a doubt of late, all their attackers has become shy in front of the post. An Adebayor that seems to have shaved off his goal scoring skills with his hair will be a delight to watch as tries to recreate his magic in front of one of the strongest defense in the world.

There is also revenge in the air, as Chelsea football club will be trying to pay back Arsenal in their own coins. Don’t also forget that the lure for Chelsea will be to climb atop Arsenal in the league table, which Arsenal will not find funny. Arsenal has been sitting pretty at the top of the league table for most of the season, but having played second fiddle to Manchester united, it will be sad to see them slip to the third spot as the league draws dangerously near to a close.

Another top of the league cracker is the match between Manchester united and Liverpool. Rafael Benitez men are poised to stake a claim to the forth position on the table so as to ensure a champions league spot later in the year. I have already gotten a front row seat for both matches at my local pub, have you?
