Out The Corridor Of Doubt, Into The Bridge

The Premier League continues this weekend with  a bumper schedule of fixtures and all eyes will turn to London as Chelsea's host rivals Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. Arsenal have made a shaky start to the season with a 4-3 opening day win at home to Leicester before losing at Stoke before a blowout at Anfield.

The have made somewhat of a recovery with wins against Bournemouth and FC Cologne, but their recent record of poor performances against the Premier League’s best leaves little hope for them to topple Chelsea especially at the Bridge.

Arsenal haven't won a game at the Bridge since Robin van Persie’s hat trick in a crazy 5-3 fixture six years ago. Since then, however Stamford Bridge has become the house of pain for the Gunners, and Chelsea have been looking good in recent weeks.

After their opening day wobble against Burnley Chelsea have won 4 in a row scoring 13 goals while conceding only two in the process.

But it's not all doom and gloom for Arsenal as the Gunners have beaten the Blues in two out of the last three games, which included a 3-0 win at the Emirates and a win in the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium.

Thursday's Europa League fixture may have opened Wenger’s eyes as to how to approach the Chelsea game. Arsenal produced a game of two halves with a bland performance in the first, before rousing to a 3-1 win.

Arsenal need to do away with a back three and use a traditional back four. This will mitigate any chance of being exposed again like they were against Liverpool and for Pete’s sake give themselves a chance by sitting in during the first exchanges before going on attack.

Chelsea have exactly the style of play that could mean another dreadful day for Arsenal and hopefully Arsenal should show some awareness and adapt their style of play to their opposition.
