The
star march coming up tomorrow, Sunday April 26, 2015 between Arsenal and
Chelsea FCs would be watched worldwide by lovers of the sport and many fans of
the two English sides. Expectedly, Arsenal and Chelsea fans are at each-others
throat, so also the team handlers and managers, Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger.
Chelsea
fans in their typical fashion and must win mentality believe their team will
repeat what it has done in past matches with Arsenal. According to record of
Arsenal-Chelsea encounters in recent years, out of 12 Premier League meetings
Chelsea won seven (7) times and drew Arsenal five (5) times.

To
the blues, their side will repeat the feat of the past in Emirates Stadium on
Sunday when Chelsea meets Arsenal. The worst they boasted is a draw and the
fear losing the title to Arsenal is not in their thinking.
Chelsea
fans are banking their title win against Arsenal on good outings of the players
like Eden Hazard, Cesc Fabregas, Diego Costa and others this season even though their
physical fitness for the Sunday clash is not hundred percent guaranteed.
As
claimed by their fans, Chelsea good performance this season has it going for the
English side. Presently the Blues leads Arsenal in the Premier League table
with 10points and is poised to add another 3 to it. From all indications
Chelsea is going to the Sunday match with the must win mentality it is known
for and this mentality has served the Gunners well this season.
On
the side of Emirate landlords, this season top-form performance of players like
Sanchez who has been tagged thirteen men in one by fans, helped the Gunners
greatly in their push toward Premier League trophy this season. For instance,
Sanchez 106th minute goal booked Arsenal for the FA Cup Final in the
title clash against Readings.
No
doubt, Arsenal will be inspired by its better performance this season when compared
to other big English club sides like Manchester United, Liverpool and
Manchester City among others. Arsenal will also put it in all it has to the Sunday
match with the aim of gaining extra points to reduce the points advantage its
arch rival has over it as well as edge itself toward the possibility of lifting
the Premier League trophy this season.

But,
as things stand now, Arsenal is pushing itself against stiff slope. The best
the side should hope for and work towards is a draw with the Blues as wining the
Sunday match will be a little bit difficult. The Gunners need all the football
luck in the world to do thrash the Blues tomorrow even in his den based on
match statistics available.
As
said before, the best the Gunners should hope for and work toward is a draw.
More so, the club still has FA Cup to defend and it will make a good football
sense to save its energy for the May 30th FA Cup final match it must
defend against Aston Villa.

Predictably,
Jose Mourinho will be pleased to win the Sunday match against his arch rival
after the exit of Sir Alex Ferguson as Manchester United coach some years back.
The Polish handler of Chelsea who enjoys getting under the skin of the Arsenal
Manager, Arsene Wenger was reportedly quoted as saying, “Wenger is a specialist
in failures”
