2008-11-30 - Chelsea vs Arsenal
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:Chelsea welcomes Arsenal to Stamford Bridge in an all London derby clash and will aim to break away at the top before Liverpool play their match on Monday Night Football tomorrow.
Chelsea comes into this match with an impressive record - scoring 32 goals and conceding only four goals in 14 games. And they have managed to win 10 of those games!
Arsenal on the other hand are currently in fifth place and are in danger of not qualifying for the Champions League and their form of late has not been convincing plus unrest within the team has not help them much.
As it stands now Arsenal have suffered five defeats this season, more than last season this time and three of those defeats coming in their last four outings. Arsene Wenger knows that their title hopes this season is slim indeed.
Chelsea will aim to return to form as they have managed just two wins in their last six games. And Chelsea could miss the services of Joe Cole after he suffered an ankle injury in the UEFA Champions League draw with Bordeaux in midweek. Set to start upfront will be former Arsenal player Nicholas Anelka and he has a good scoring record against Arsenal.
Defender Alex has recovered from his groin injury and is set to partner captain John Terry in the heart of defence. Scolari will miss the services of Juliano Belletti (ankle), Michael Essien (knee), Ricardo Carvalho (knee) and Franco di Santo (hamstring) for this match.
As for Arsenal, Cesc Fabregas who is their new Captain, will lead his charges for the first time after they managed to beat Dynamo Kiev in midweek. The likes of Samir Nasri (knee), Bacary Sagna and Emmanuel Adebayor (both ankle) will undergo a late fitness test to see if they can feature ahead of this clash.
Centre-back William Gallas will appear against his former club and his statement that he endured hell at Chelsea will surely make this contest a fiery one. The likes of Theo Walcott, Eduardo and Tomas Rosicky are out due to long term injuries.
Take Chelsea to win and give the 1/2 ball here.
Cheers and good luck,
