Chelsea vs Arsenal : 3 Significant Things To Expect From The Stamford Bridge Clash

Chelsea trade tackle with Arsenal in Tuesday Night with opportunity for redemption not farfetched as they lost at home side Newcastle United 1-0 at the weekend.

This would see frenetic battle ensue at both ends of the pitch as both EPL giants meets in this fixture despite their short comings already in the season.

This is particularly for Arsenal which is managed by Spanish young boss Mikel Arteta. It promises to be interesting to see what both young managers (Frank Lampard and Mikel Arteta) would offer in a big games like this more like we’ve seen in the reverse fixture.

On this note we take into consideration the three probable to expect from this massive game at Stanford Bridge.

A Possible Win For Chelsea

The Blues would be expected to have the edge in this one as they have got a better rhythm than Arsenal owing to their better form in the season.

This is even reflected in the League standings as the Blues stay firm in the 4th place position while the result needing Arsenal remains off the European place due to poor run of form which also culminated in the sack of Spanish Manager Unai Emery at the Arsenal Helm.

A win is possible even as the Blues came from a goal down to clinch a 1-2 away win at the Emirates.

Top Quality Performances

Both teams are brimming with talent despite the fortunes both sides may be far from reaching in the season.

Despite managerial antics from Lampard and Mikel Arteta in the technical sect of the team we expect quality performance to match the standard the game would brings.

This have been seen in years back with the likes of Thierry Henry, Nwankwo Kanu making their mark in the fixture.

As for Chelsea, Didier Drogba quality showings provides sweet memories cannot be overlooked alongside the likes of Chelsea current boss Frank Lampard.

This may see the likes of Mesut Ozil, Grant Xhaka for Arsenal and Willian and Cesar Azpilicueta produce the goods as quality is very much domicile within the squad of both sides.

Arteta’s Game Plan

The Spanish and Arsenal new boss (37) would be once again facing the Blues even as they’ve beaten Manchester United 2-0 few days back.

This may offer some form of optimism to the traveling Gunners with hope to make amends even as they were held to a 1-1 draw by promoted surprise package Sheffield United.

How Arteta would line up his team before and the tactics he would deploy during the game would be in view as they face Chelsea without the services of star forward and club top scorer Pierre Emerick Aubameyang.
