CHELSEA - ARSENAL
I COMMENTI
da SkySports:
"Chelsea and Arsenal enter round seven of the campaign as the two remaining unbeaten side, though, the Blues have claimed five victories in their opening six matches while Wenger’s side have been held to a draw on four occasions.
The Gunners have just one win in their last five and were held to a 1-1 stalemate by North London rivals Tottenham last weekend, while Chelsea’s most recent Premier League outing saw them cruise to a 3-0 win against Aston Villa.
Chelsea have scored seven more goals (19) than any other team in the Premier League this season and will expect to net against Arsenal, whose only clean sheet of the campaign came at an Aston Villa side heavily depleted by illness.
Meanwhile, 17 of the 41 goals the Gunners conceded in the Premier League last season came away to the teams that made up the eventual top three, and although they have improved, a lack of investment in central midfield could cost them."
"Arsenal need to change the way they play if they are to get anything out of this game and even after watching them beat Galatasaray 4-1 I don’t expect them to get anything from Stamford Bridge. They haven’t played well before that game and Galatasaray were very poor.
Arsenal are very good going forward, but they desperately need a central midfield player (why did they turn down Cesc Fabregas? He’s better than what they’ve got?) I think they’ll get picked off in this game and I don’t know how they can live with Diego Costa. Chelsea have too much power and will cause Arsenal big problems.
Prediction: 2-1"
