Chelsea vs Arsenal: Prediction Panel 2009/10
The big game of the weekend and Arsenal can't lose this one if they want to stay in the title race as Chelsea would move nine points ahead - and that is too far with 13 games left. For Chelsea the win at The Emirates and the return of the African players will give them a lot of confidence that they can win this game - although the John Terry shenanigans may have contributed to the lacklustre Hull game (admittedly Hull then beat Man City).
Chelsea will start as strong favourites and a draw would not really help Arsenal, but it would not be a disaster.
Chelsea vs Arsenal; Kick Off 4:00pm 07 Feb 2010
