Arsenal will face Chelsea on Saturday lunch time in the crunch Barclays Premier League tie at Stamford Bridge, looking to close the gap with their London rivals.
The Gunners are heading into this tie on the back of a moral boosting 1-0 victory over their North London rivals, Tottenham. Arsene Wenger, the Arsenal manager, will be expecting a similar sort of result on Saturday as well.
Arsenal will still miss the services of key players like Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain should be fit enough to start, after suffering a minor calf problem that saw him getting withdrawn against Spurs in the second half.
The only decision Wenger will have to make is whether to include Flamini or not. Against a strong opposition like Chelsea, that too away from home, Wenger might be tempted to add enough defensive steel in the middle of the park.
This could be the possible line-up for the Gunners against Chelsea on Saturday.
Prediction: 1-1; Arsenal are still very much alive in the title-race and they are well capable of getting something out of this match.
