LE CRUNCH

Early kick off against a Chelsea side emboldened by victory at Wembley and a good first leg semi final result. an opportunity to increase our hold on third place and possibly put a huge dent in Chelsea's league position. A lot of talk about Arteta's absence and Chelsea being 'back on track'; all meaningless. We are at home and it's a time to step up at The Emirates as we did against Man City, Milan and Sp*rs. Let's not overlook the fact that we put five past them earlier at their place. Nor forget that John Terry fell over!

As a supporter at the game later today what more incentive do you need to get behind the eleven men in red than to beat this lot?

Come on all Arsenal supporters let's cast the cynicism aside and raise the temperature at our home and do our damnedest to  take the points. The way we end this season is crucial for how we start the next.
