Both sides have shown their capabilities to deal heavy blows on their opponents this season, which reflects their satisfactory form. Arsenal gave newly promoted side Southampton a heavy 6-1 league routing, while Chelsea thrashed Wolverhampton Wolves 6-0 in the Capital One Cup.

 

Arsenal is currently fifth on this season’s league table with two wins and three draws. They have maintained their reputation for playing “beautiful football”, despite their sluggish start of two scoreless draws and the departures of Robin van Persie and Alex Song. New entry Santi Cazorla is an emerging midfield force for his creative passing and collaboration with Abou Diaby and Aaron Ramsey. Lukas Podolski’s attacks make him a viable scoring threat in contrast to Gervinho’s erratic finishes. Olivier Giroud has yet to make a scoring impact for the side despite being Ligue 1’s top scorer last season.

Chelsea is currently enjoying their recent revamp in their line-up, which is instrumental to their current leading status in the league table. New signing Eden Hazard became man of the match four times this season for his stellar midfield showing. Oscar, another newcomer, has become a rising star during his starting debut for his side’s 2-2 Champions League draw against Juventus, in which he scored both goals. In terms of defence, they maintain an impressive line-up joined by Ashley Cole, John Terry, Branislav Ivanovic and Gary Cahill. Striker Fernando Torres, notorious for his inconsistencies, has to work on producing finer finishes.

In playign against tough oponnent sides during this league season, Chelsea has the advantage of four league wins against Arsenal’s two. Nevertheless, a 1-1 draw for the fixture is highly possible, as Chelsea’s newfound enhancement and defensive strength will strike a balance against Arsenal’s tightly knit team play and inspiring passing and finishing.
