Arsenal Preview: Let the Drog off the Leash
COME ON CHELSEA

With both teams rested after an enforced two week break, tonights game at The Emirates should be a cracker, a right old Christmas cracker. Both teams should be raring to go, both teams will be looking to cut Utd's lead at the top of table. Didier Drogba is playing against his favourite club. A scorer in the 2-0 win at The Bridge and in the 3-0 win at The Emirates last season.
In fact Dids has scored 13 times against Arsenal in all competitions since joining Chelsea in 2004. Let's hope the Drog is snapping tonight like he did when coming on as a sub against Tottenham two weeks ago.
Super Frank returns, rather belatedly, as he was due to play against United last weekend and he will need be influential in midfield right from the first whistle.
The extra week should have given JT (Captain, Leader, Legend) more time to regain fitness, but we know JT can play an inspirational role in any condition and JT will want to lead the Champions and Double Winners to three points tonight.
The postponed game against Man Utd has been rescheduled for Tuesday 1st March and the Boss 'Anco' hasn't discounted that Chelsea won't spend in the forthcoming transfer window.
He said, "We have a question mark over a player out injured. Alex has a problem on his knee.
"If by 31st January we are sure that Alex is okay we don't need to have another defender."
Bolton's Gary Cahill is rumoured to be the player on Chelsea's radar.

Just how tough it will be will depend upon how confident Arsenal actually are - should they go ahead then it will be difficult, should we go ahead then their heads will probably drop.
Hopefully Drogba has really shaken off this malaria thing (it can stay in the body for ages apparently), Frank won´t be 100% of course but I understand Fabregas isn´t firing on all cylinders either.
Couldn´t make this one - but will probably be at the Bridge for Bolton.

As opposed to a post and run poster who doesn´t make sense...

That was rough, rough, rough

Good little player though.
