Chelsea is facing some problems by not having Petr Cech fit.

The blues came from a draw at Tottenham's home.

For this match Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech is facing a fitness test on the ankle injury which kept him out of the 4-4 draw against Tottenham on Wednesday.

Carlo Cudicini is on standby and boss Avram Grant recalls Nicolas Anelka, Michael Ballack and Mikel John Obi.

The Blues have here a very complicated match since Arsenal is fighting against Manchester and they have Chelsea very close.

Arsenal is very irregular at this moment. On the last 6 matches they draw 5 and only won the match in Milan.

The gunners need points and this match is very important. Unfortunely for them, they know that Stamford Bridge is always a very tigh field.

For this match Arsenal are without midfielder Tomas Rosicky (hamstring) and midfielder Abou Diaby (calf) also remains sidelined.

Theo Walcott, called up by England in the week, is pushing for a place in the starting line-up.

On the last 5 matches 4 ended in an under 2,5 goals.

Arsenal win in December 1-0 in a very good match from gunners.

For today i think this match will end again in and Under 2,5 goals.
