The most titillating encounter of this hectic period in the league will be when Chelsea and Arsenal take on each other today, the fireworks are bound to go off on the day. As the showpiece returns to action for game week 24, both these teams for London have immense ramifications riding on this tie for them.
While a stake at London is enough to make this clash a humdinger of an affair, the two sides’ fast-flowing downward spiral makes it a must-win contest for either side. Chelsea is coming into the contest defeated 1-0 by Newcastle United, a showing which perfectly exemplified all their perils as they struggled in attack and crumbled in the culminating stages in defense.
