MATCH DETAILS:
After the new year, the team of Antonio Conte played two official matches and both ended in a draw. Three days ago, Chelsea could not beat the Norwich Cup on away road Norwich – a 0-0 draw, which added another extra match and an already busy schedule of Londoners. But before that, the “blue” ended in a draw of the championship match, where their rival was none other than “Arsenal”. Played, however, wards Conte at a party, and were close to having to earn all three points. However, they missed the victory in the 92nd minute.
Nevertheless, at home, “Chelsea” is now quite successful. In ten previous official matches in their arena Londoners won nine wins. The only match in which it was not possible to win over this period was the game in the Champions League against “Atletico” – 1: 1. It should be noted that the “blue” houses are missing a little. In the last eight games they missed three times.
“Arsenal” on the eve of the combined powers of the winner of the FA Cup. On the road, Arsene Wenger’s team was defeated by a representative of the Championships – “Nottingham Forest” – with a score of 4: 2. Defeat from the “foresters” was for the “Gunners” first in the last ten official matches. Nevertheless, at the exit, “Arsenal” this season as a whole looks weak. For the last eight guest matches, “Gunners” won only twice.
In comparison with “Chelsea” Arsene Wenger has a number of serious losses. In the infirmary of the club Laurent Koselni, Sead Kolashinac, Granit Jaka, Aaron Ramsey, Olivier Giroux, Nacho Montreal and Santi Cazorla.
