17 hrs left to kick off at Wembley. Arsenal vs Chelsea. There is a lot of hype surronding this game. all the mix preview from the pundits all over the world. but I don't care about what they think. This is my blog so I'm gonna write what I think.
Both team weakness.
1. Defence
Both team have their own problem in defence. Arsenal have almost all defender out of action. Arsenal might play Sagna, Toure, Silvestre and Eboue at the back with a few unknown young names at the bench. With Almunia also out, Fabianski will be between the post again but he is a class keeper so not to worried to much about it. Chelsea leaky defence is a concern for chelsea too. 7 goals in 2 matches not the kind of defence they really want.
Both team strenght.
1. Going forward
despite the problem both team have in the back, going forward both team are fantastic. Arsenal scores 7 goals in last 2 matches. Chelsea score 8 goals in last 2 matches. This area is really the strong point for both team.
My view.
As an Arsenal fans, Arsenal get the slight advantages over Chelsea compare to current form. Arsenal should exploit the leaky defence of Chelsea. With Chelsea defence are not that fast, Arsenal should exploit them with speed. Theo, Ade, RVP, Nasri, AA all have the pace to beat them. Getting the first goal is crucial but keeping a clean sheet is important too. we all know Drogba have been the torn in Arsenal defence even if he didn't get in the game much. His goal tally against arsenal are impresive.
For the arsenal defense, we should take care of Drogba. We should defend better in set pieces as Chelsea are capable of scoring in the set pieces with John Terry. Denilson or Song should keep Lampard at bay. Try to prevent him to get enough time on the ball. If Lampard playing bad, Chelsea also playing badly.
On top of that, Arsenal should be at their top of the game. Keep the clean sheet run continue and the high scoring treak continue and Arsenal will surely go to the Final.
Keep it up Gunners. All the way to Wembley Final.
