The young centre back has come out and admitted that Arsenal won’t find it easy to take on Chelsea as the Blues are vying for a place in next year’s UEFA champions league competition by finishing in the top four teams of the
Premier League...
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 are now in a precarious situation after losing their last league match against Wigan Athletic. The Gunners now must win against Chelsea in order to maintain their 3rd place position in the Premier League table
as the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur exert pressure on Wenger’s men to gain a UEFA Champions League qualification place.
Chelsea who defeated Barcelona by a solitary goal in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie with the Catalan giants will now be looking forward to doing the same against Arsenal, a team which gained a 5-3 win at
Stamford Bridge earlier on in the season. Arsenal have got injury problems of their own at the moment. With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mikel-Arteta-c25715 out of action, Wenger is hard pressed for central midfield options, something that might work to Chelsea’s favour come the weekend.
Djourou said, "[Chelsea] still want to have Champions League football next season as well so we know it is going to be a tough game. Obviously they have a lot of fixtures, the two http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 games are either side [of Saturday's
derby] but we don't really concentrate on that. We have to be focused on our game and on what we do best.”
He added, "We need to play football the way we did against Manchester City and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wolves-c40952, that is the sort of situation we have to get back into. We have to show that again. Unfortunately it wasn't the case against Wigan but we have
to be sure it is there on Saturday. Of course we are [in the best position] and we would rather be in that situation.”
