By Joe, www.bettingexpert.com | Published (Edited )
Going into the 2nd half of the season, the title race is slowly getting into the climax stages as Chelsea takes on Arsenal on Sunday late afternoon kickoff. Chelsea are currently leading the Premiership with a 2 points gap from Manchester United while their opponent are 6 points away from them. This could be a crucial match as Chelsea could either surrender their lead to others or take out Arsenal out of the race, once and for all.
On the pitch, things did not go Chelsea’s way during the midweek 1-1 draw against Hull City. Drogba, returning from the African Nations of Cup, scored Chelsea’s only goal and rescue the a point at KC Stadium. However, it’s the off the pitch news that has dominated the headlines at Chelsea. Captain John Terry has exposed that he had an affair with a team-mate's ex-girlfriend. Terry could be on his way to surrender his England captaincy while further allegations of Vanessa Perroncel having affairs with other players on the Chelsea team. Back to football, Chelsea will be without Michael Essien who is long term injuried.
Arsenal will want to bounce back from their 3-1 defeat to Manchester United last weekend at the Emirates Stadium. Their woeful display left Manager Arsene Wenger fuming about his team unable to come with the goods on the day. He expressed, with disaapointment, that his team had a poor performance and maybe the worse this season. He will want a respond from his key members of the team as the travels across London to Stamford bridge in a make it or lost the title game. Arsenal will have Nicklas Bendter, A. Arshavin and Rosicky to choose from to start on Sunday, giving Wenger a good think about what kind of football he will deploy.
Defensively Arsenal was just poor against Manchester United. If there was a player to blame then Gael Clichy would get some of the rap and let’s face it, he should get dropped too. Chelsea are hit with Terry’s scandal but Manager Carlo Ancelotti will still be behind him and it is likely that the squad will do that too. Last time, these two teams met, Chelsea won at the Emirates with 2-1 and a repeat of this score will certainly put Arsenal out of the title race. Betsson is offering odds at 1.82 for Chelsea to do the double over Arsenal.
