Where are you watching?
Predictions?

Hoping for a very open and entertaining game, with the Gunners on top.

My one prediction is that Nicky B gets the start.

Saw that you have been keeping up with Udinese. Heavy talk of Inter ponying up the money for Sanchez. Prayin it happens. And are you going to the Man U Barca match in July? I think a few of us are going.

We'll find out what kind of sand these two teams have. A draw is gonna make it hard on both of us. A loss for either team is going to be really tough to overcome.

Agreed. The Manchester results yesterday hurt both squads.

It's basically a must-win for both teams, though slightly more so for the Arse.

Chelsea are five straight league matches without a win, including three straight draws. The scoring has really tapered off and the energy doesn't seem to be there.

Maybe John Terry is fricking everyone.

Arsenal need one more solid signature win to give themselves the confidence that they can actually compete for this title in a clusterfrick type of a season.

Should be a great game.

Chelsea edges it 2-1.

Wouldn't surprise me at all. Not that I am a die hard Udi fan, but it would give me less incentive to watch them if he left, since he's definitely their most electrifying player.

I think I may go with a friend who is coming into town for it. I will be sorta disinterested, mostly getting inebriated and whipping batteries at players from both teams. We should tailgate at RFK or something though.

Hopefully with Frank coming back this will change. Otherwise we are pretty much finished, it's been a miserable couple of months.

I'm watching the game in Atlanta with a fellow Gooner. It's time for Arsenal to end the Chelsea/Man U point-less streak!

I think this game will play out like it always seems to. Ashley Cole and Drogba will play well on the counter attack. Chelsea's defense will sit deep and not get too adventurous. We will win take our points by way of PKs or set piece plays, because finding an opening is tough against Chelsea.

It helps that their form has been so poor. Wilkins leaving must have shaken them up.

@ArsenalDotCom
Team to play Chelsea: Fabianski, Sagna, Koscielny, Djourou, Clichy, Wilshere, Song, Fabregas, Nasri, Walcott, Van Persie

Arsenal subs: Szczesny, Diaby, Rosicky, Squillaci, Arshavin, Chamakh, Bendtner

Squillaci and Arshavin dropped. Good to see change.
