This afternoon Chelsea travel to the Emirates in another key game against one of our main rivals that can have a major effect on the title come the end of the season. If we win, we go 11 points clear of Arsenal and 5 ahead of United who won yesterday. 
With the traditional busy Christmas period upon us and the African Nations cup ahead on the horizon in January its another must win game. Right now I think we all would take a scrappy 1-0 and the three points and let's hope that we get the win. Arsenal have different ideas to the game today and will want to keep their home record going. Arsene Wenger has said ahead of the game:"There is a period for any team to come out and show its strength. For my team, this moment has come, We have the strength and we want to show we're strong enough to beat them."We are not anymore a team that has to be considered to be young. I believe for us the most important thing is to stick to our game, do not focus on any special individual on the other side, because you win these kind of games by dominating the game.
If we focus too much on Chelsea it won't help us." Big words from Arsene as usual but the key player for them is Robin Van Persie and he is out for 5 months after it was confirmed he needs surgery on his ankle. Without him Arsenal do not pose the same threat with the likes of Vela and Eduardo. If Theo Walcott plays up front then there is a danger for us that needs to be addressed. But, I for one, do not see Walcott playing through the middle today The key battles for me is the midfield.
Arsenal will have to match our physical presence in midfield and cope with our two boys up front who are playing well and scoring goals for fun this season. Denilson, Fabregas, Song, Rosicky or Nasri will have to match our midfield today, if they don't then Lampard, Ballack, Essien and Deco will have a field day. I wasn't impressed with the way we played the other night and we will need to play much better to get the result today. But we showed last season our quality and our class as we beat them 4-1 at their place and I just hope we can put in the same performance again today. Ahead of the game Carlo Ancelotti has said:"This is not a decisive match for Chelsea or for Arsenal, It's an important match. Arsenal will want to win the game, and Chelsea also, but it's not decisive for the title. Deco's flicks and tricks are all well and good but there was no final ball.
