ARSENAL NEWS

Arsenal failed to defeat WBA last weekend, although they led until the 90th minute of the match. Two weeks before, they also failed to save the lead they had against Liverpool. The game against Chelsea is very important for them. If they fail to win it, Arsenal could easily miss the top four finish for the second year in a row, which would be a disaster. The voices against Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger are louder than ever, and we can see the end of an era at the end of the season. The injuries of first team regulars Ozil and Ramsey, as well as the 12th man Olivier Giroud, are making everything even harder for them.

Chelsea is in a solid form and with an eventual win against Arsenal they would return to the 2nd position on the table.
