Dean Burman makes his FanZone debut this Super Sunday - and he hopes it'll be a Blue day at the Emirates.
Debutant Dean Burman hopes Chelsea can maintain their distance
After a decent start to the season, I feel we are coming up against our toughest opponents to date. Yes, we have beaten Man U and Liverpool, but these were both at home. Now for a big test, an away fixture against one of the so called 'big four'.
This is David versus Goliath, the power and strength of Chelsea against the grace and poise of Arsenal. Both teams have injury worries but as we showed at the weekend I think we can cope better than Arsenal.
I feel we need to stop Arsenal getting into their rhythm of that slick passing game.
It will be interesting to see who Ancelotti puts in the midfield now that Franky Lampard is back, I would imagine that he will go for the same XI that started against Man U.
I think he is a Deco man, but I would have Joe Cole at the tip of that diamond, giving the Arsenal defence the runaround.
Weakness
Arsenal are looking pretty good at home and like us have not dropped any points at The Emirates, however, I think there might be a weakness in their defence, what with Gibbs and possibly Gallas out.
It would be nice coming away from there with at least a point so the gap doesn't close, but with Man U playing at Pompey and Arsenal with a game in hand I can only see us going out for the win.
Hopefully we will have a little more about us on Sunday then we did against Porto in midweek.
I think we have to remember this time last year; we were eight points clear of Man U when Arsenal came to town and beat us.
Should be a fascinating game, the league's leading scorers against the meanest defence - one for the purists. And if both teams play to their potential it could be a classic.
Arsenal need the points more than we do, but we don't want to lose that gap.
I'm predicting a 2-1 Chelsea win, of course.
