Arsenal FC vs Chelsea FC - Match Day #29
Tough sledding!
Even with a four match win streak across all competitions, it hasn’t been the prettiest of play from Enzo Maresca & the squad grinding out close victories of late. Last weekend’s match vs Leicester City with all the stats in favor of the Blues only resulted in a 1-0 win from a Marc Cucurella goal from outside the box. Cucurella has been one of the most prolific scorers of late for the team, which says a lot about the form of the attacking midfield & forwards recently. Even Cole Palmer’s unblemished penalty kick record was stopped dead on its tracks by Leicester keeper, Mads Hermansen. That will be quite the trivia answer to remember one day.
The lads must find their way to have a potent attack as they go into this London Derby against the best defense in the Premier League & arguably in all of Europe, Arsenal. This will be a difficult challenge for Marseca as he will not have the services of Nico Jackson, Noni Madueke & Marc Guiu in attack. Malo Gusto will be a match time decision as he has missed the last two matches dealing with an ankle injury, but Romeo Lavia may be ready and selected into the starting XI for this one. Either way, the boys will have to dig deep to grab a result at the Emirates, hopefully they will be up for the fight for who is best in all of London!
Come down to the Londoner Addison this Sunday morning & kick it with the Shed End Dallas crew. We look forward to seeing you there!
Cheers,
Shed End Dallas
