Arsenal vs. Chelsea – 3 Things to Look For

Arsenal host Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium as they try to pick themselves up off the floor after a damaging defeat to Manchester City.

Arsenal faces London rivals Chelsea as they pick up the pieces of their faltering title campaign. The 4-1 loss to Manchester City all but ended the title dream (barring a spectacular collapse from Pep Guardiola’s side).

With five games to go for the Gunners and a point behind City, who have a game in hand, the title race isn’t over (on paper), so Arsenal must be all gas and no brakes until it’s mathematically impossible for the title to come to north London.

That brings us to Chelsea.

Arsenal dominated their London rivals at Stamford Bridge in a 1-0 win, and Mikel Arteta will want more of the same this time around.

Here are three things to look for at the Emirates Stadium when Chelsea comes to town.

Team Selection

With City now in command of the title race, Arteta needs to tinker with his starting lineup. Leandro Trossard has been on the outer over the last month.

When in the side, the winger provides something different to Gabriel Martinelli, and seeing as the end of the season is near, perhaps the Brazilian is running out of gas.

With Rob Holding struggling, many fans have voiced their want for Arteta to switch it up at the back and bring Ben White into central defense, and have Kieran Tierney at right back.

It will be interesting to see which way Arteta goes against Chelsea.
