Today in the English Premier League, the London derby will take place, where the leaders of Chelsea and Arsenal football players will meet.
In the top of the Premier League table - complete uncertainty. It's only possible to predict that the leading quartet, which will receive tickets to the next year's Champions League tournament, will definitely not change. But guessing which team will be able to call themselves the kings of English football this year would be difficult even for experienced bettors. The latter value the chances of Manchester City and Chelsea clubs the most, but everything in the league is currently so unpredictable that things could change in just a couple of rounds.
Arsene Wenger, who has been working at Arsenal for 18 years, said: "This is the first time in my time in England that with 8-9 rounds left until the end of the championship, even 4 teams have almost equal chances to win the league."
Arsenal, led by A. Wenger, has been setting trends in England since the start and only a few weeks ago yielded the leader role to Chelsea, but the team from North London promises not to give up and will fight tooth and nail for the title of English champions. There couldn't be a better opportunity for that - they need to defeat the leading "aristocrats" in their fortress and rise to the top again.
Arsenal's game has been stuttering lately, the team is plagued by injuries. Mesut Ozil, the team's leader who demonstrated amazing play at the beginning of the season, has been just a shadow of himself in recent weeks. Jack Wilshere is out due to injury, Theo Walcott hasn't been able to play for several months and won't return to the lineup until the end of the season. However, there is also good news. Aaron Ramsey, who showed fantastic form at the beginning of the season, should return to the field.
Chelsea this season stands out for its ability to mobilize for the most important matches and demonstrate superb football in them. The "Blues" have not lost in the championship against any of their main competitors. However, there is another side to the coin. The team simply gives away points against second-tier teams - this is the main reason why Chelsea cannot easily catch their breath.
The young players Eden Hazard, Oscar, and Willian hold the strings of the team's game this season. Players with energy, technique, and creativity are a real headache for every team's defense.
The Gunners have their own weapons - Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who missed the first part of the season due to injury but is now playing brilliantly. The 20-year-old footballer, who has only played 9 matches due to injuries, has already become a leader.
Mesut Ozil has received a lot of criticism from the English press and a little break from Arsene Wenger. The performance of the entire team depends on M. Ozil's game, and the German "maestro" will want to show his former and highly respected coach Jose Mourinho how he can play.
