Athletistic will broadcast a live online text broadcast: Soccer. APL. Arsenal-Chelsea. Direct
The game was due to take place on Saturday evening, but was postponed midweek following the recommendation of the Metropolitan Police, much to the dismay of supporters.
Faced with the biggest test of the season, Arsenal failed to show they could maintain the title race against Manchester City, who taught their former staff member Mikel Arteta a football lesson during a game and beat his team 4-1.
A brace from Kevin De Bruyne, a header from John Stones and Erling Haaland’s Premier League record 33rd goal of the season contributed to a convincing victory for the defending champions. And now, the fate of their title is no longer in the hands of Arsenal.
Thanks to Manchester City’s 2-1 victory over Fulham, Arteta’s quarters lost first place. Arsenal have also booked a Champions League spot for the first time in 7 years.
Finishing in the top four was the main objective for Arteta and his team before the start of the season. But then it looked like Arsenal would be in a position to win the title. But then there was a slump, draws with Liverpool, West Ham United and Southampton and then a loss at the Etihad almost deprived Arsenal of a chance for top spot in Guardiola’s current form. .
Arsenal have conceded in the seventh game in a row, in the last 4 matches, 11 goals have flown in their gates and this is an alarming sign. On the other hand, Arsenal also scores, especially at home. Only Newcastle United have prevented the Gunners from scoring at the Emirates this season.
Chelsea aren’t jumping for joy at the moment either. With each passing week, Todd Pawley’s decision to bring Frank Lampard back to Stamford Bridge grows stranger as the Englishman’s losing streak stretches to an alarming five games.
Chelsea lost the last game at home against Brentford 0:2. Returning Cesar Azpilicueta netted an own goal in the 37th minute, and Brian Mbeumo netted the Bees’ second with 12 minutes remaining. As a result, Chelsea are in 12th place, just 10 points from the relegation zone and, incredibly, still at risk of entering the Championship.
While Chelsea are excited about the upcoming appointment of Mauricio Pochettino, Lampard is trying to avoid an unwanted piece of history at the Emirates as the defeat marks the 20th of the season. The last time Chelsea suffered so many defeats was in the 1987-88 season. Chelsea have scored just one goal since Lampard’s return to the club – a Conor Gallagher strike against Brighton – and only one of their last 10 Premier League away goals has been a winner.
