Chelsea
v Newcastle |
| |
Chelsea
came through their battle with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge with
their undefeated home record still intact but they will be disappointed
at losing ground over the weekend to league leaders United.
A draw was probably a fair result but Chelsea did squander good
opportunities to win the game and the lack of goals in recent
fixtures must be causing Mourinho some concern; his policy of
accomodating Lampard, Ballack, Essien and Makelele in a midfield
four is detrimental to the side, and they would create far more
for Drogba and Shevchencko if they played a bit wider with Robben
and Wright-Phillips (or Cole when fit). Despite all that, only
4 points dropped and 4 goals conceded in 8 home games leaves
Newcastle with a daunting task; their poor away form has been
arrested with 5 points from the last 3 games but they were slightly
fortunate at Ewood Park to have Blackburn's Henchoz sent off
and were hanging on before Martins sealed the win with his second
goal of the game. The Magpies have their injury problems and
are coping well in the circumstances, but should find Chelsea
too hard a nut to crack. |

Wigan
v Arsenal |
| |
If
only Arsenal fought for everything in every game the way they
did at Stamford Bridge, then this result would not be in doubt.
Unfortunately they do not put in exceptional performances week
in week out and before their draw at Stamford Bridge, had succumbed
to 3 successive away defeats. Henry's absence is probably benefitting
the Gunners at the moment, with Adebayor alone up front and
4 attacking midfielders in support. Arsenal visit a Wigan side
that are not quite living up to the expectations of last season
but they are doing well enough; the last visitors to the JJB,
Liverpool, put 4 past them in the first half and though that
was obviously an off day, Jewell will be concerned that the
same doesn't happen against an Arsenal side capable of inflicting
similar damage. Understandably, Wigan's poor results last season
came against the cream of the Premiership and they haven't done
enough to make me think differently this season. Arsenal overplay
less without Henry and a more direct style could benefit them;
3 points for the Gunners. |
