PREVIEW
Chelsea will head to the Emirates in high spirits after picking up a magnificent 1-0 victory over the European champions, but it remains to be seen how much the game has taken out of Roberto Di Matteo’s side.

Arsenal will certainly be hoping the Blues will be drained as they look to make up for the shocking defeat to Wigan last Monday. Some woeful defending in the opening exchanges cost the Gunners the game and it gives Tottenham a chance to close the gap to two points should they win their game in hand.

Other than the Wigan game, Arsene Wenger’s side have been superb over the past few weeks and that’s especially been the case in North London.

Di Matteo continues to make a compelling case for the Chelsea job next season and the Blues head into the game on the back of two huge wins. It’s been an energy-sapping couple of games and there’s no doubt that the players will have half an eye on the trip to the Nou Camp. Di Matteo will likely make necessary changes and Fernando Torres should be in line for a start.

Mikel Arteta will be a loss for the Gunners, but I still feel the hosts have enough to edge past a tired Chelsea side. My advice would be to back the home win at around 2.04 on BETDAQ.

RECOMMENDATION: (1-10 points)
Back Arsenal at around 2.04: 5 points

Thursday’s Return: -7 points
APRIL RETURN TO DATE: -29.84
