Chelsea WILL Beat Arsenal This Weekend - Here's Why













When Samuel Eto'o arrived at Stamford Bridge in the summer Chelsea fans were rightly excited. The Cameroon legend had represented some of the biggest clubs in Europe and has scored a shed load of goals, but his best days seem behind him and he's struggled to find his feet at the club. Now as we approach the end of the year it seems as though the striker has other things on his mind, as the Telegraph report that he is thinking about a move to the MLS in the summer. But would he be missed?
For a long while now, it has been said that Arsenal need a world-class centre-forward who can either replace Olivier Giroud, or in some instances dovetail with him. Certainly, Arséne Wenger’s attempt to loan Chelsea’s Demba Ba on deadline day as well as his continuous pursuits of both Gonzalo Higuain and Luis Suarez seemed to confirm that he had the same thoughts. So, who would be the perfect player for this role? Robert Lewandowski? Jackson Martinez? Luis Suarez? Not quite, for me.
When I was eight years old, football was about the entire team rushing to the ball in order to get a touch to impress the proud parents on the touchline. A lot of the time it was one-touch football, merely because none of us had the technical facility, or in fact an awareness of what we were doing, and it was all kick and rush. Bad coaching, perhaps, or just the fact that were only eight. However, astonishingly, the Mirror are reporting that Chelsea and Manchester United are fighting for the signature of Claudio Gabriel Nancufil, who at just eight years of age is being likened to Lionel Messi.
Barcelona are a team who often get what they want, but Chelsea fans had better start hoping that it isn't the case this time round as the Express are reporting that the La Liga giants have added midfield general Ramires to their shortlist.
Arséne Wenger’s Arsenal side has surpassed all of their expectations this season, so far. The Gunners entered the season with pundits and rival fans all claiming that they would be a failure, and that their lack of significant signings would surely lead to them falling out of the top four in favour of their arch rivals Tottenham Hotspur. Indeed, the Gunners’ shock opening day 3-1 home defeat to Aston Villa seemed to confirm that it would be a season of doom for Arsenal, but lo and behold, it would turn out to be a whole different story.
My money is going on Chelsea winning the Premier League title this year, and here are three reasons why.
As a rule, football fans often go mental when a young player is making moves in the game. There were times last season when the whole of Europe was fascinated by just how good Italy international Stephan El Sharaawy was and how good he could actually become, considering he was only 19 and what not.
With it still being the off-season and pre-season in full flow we edge closer to the beginning of the season like a snail carrying shopping on its back.
You'd think that a team with a front pairing of Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani would be quite a formidable opponent, no?
Branislav Ivanovic's last minute winner against Benfica in the Europa League final provided the west London club with a European trophy for a second successive year.
I've watched a lot of Chelsea this season, mostly to watch the 'three amigos', but also to keep a close eye on the £50million let down that is Fernando Torres.
