Matchday 24/38

While the matchday is action-packed, the highlight of the week is the match pitting limping giants, Chelsea vs. Arsenal. With their former midfielders who also proudly wore the number 8 jersey and captained their clubs taking charge, the two teams are looking forward to dealing with their current upsets. In their previous fixtures, Chelsea has collected only 7 out of possible 15 points, coming from an upsetting last-minute loss to Newcastle where they conceded one goal. Arsenal has, on the other hand, managed to collect 6 out of the 15 points, taking home more draws.

Standing at number four with 39 points from 23 matches, Chelsea will be looking to keep their hopes of finishing at the top four and secure a spot for the UEFA Champions League next season. The Gunners are having one of the worst seasons for decades, standing at number 10 with only 29 points from the possible 69 after 23 matches. Arsenal will be looking to avenge the humiliating defeat they endured against Chelsea on 29th December after Jorginho’s 83rd-minute goal gave them the equalizer, quickly followed by Tammy Abraham’s 87th-minute strike that gave them the win at the Emirates Stadium.

While the fixture sees both teams with a stable squad, Arsenal will be without the services of their top scorer and captain, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. This is following the VAR’s decision that saw the captain red-carded against Crystal Palace following a hard tackle.

Who will be the man of the match? Will both teams concede goals? Will the fixture force the clubs’ management to consider signing new players to boost their form? Well, this is an exciting fixture with both managers and clubs looking forward to silencing their critics and give their fans something to smile about after an upsetting performance.
