Keep looking forward - Arsenal Sunday

The Blues have had our fair share of disappointment these last few weeks, drawing with Newcastle and losing out against Liverpool in the Champions League Semi. But with the League title still "not mathematically impossible", we have to keep looking ahead.

As a club, the boys must regroup and take account of what lies ahead; we have to face Arsenal, Man U and Everton all within a week, then have a cup final against Man U at Wembley. Now clearly is not the time for complacency, something which some say we have been guilty of more than once this season already.

Injuiries continue to be an issue for Chelsea, so the challenge we have faced all season is one that is far from over. Jose Mourinho has hinted that he will be fielding players that haven't been seen of late, making things more interesting. Perhaps this is an indication that the challenge for the League is still on; starting fresh legs may be the boost the boys need to keep going.

Sunday sees us face Arsenal - here is the predicted Starting XI:



Cech
Diarra - Terry - Boulharouz - Bridge
Makelele
Mikel - Essien
Kalou - Drogba - J. Cole


Bench: Cudiccini, Ferreira, Robben, Lampard, Sinclair

The bench is strong and sees a new addition in the form of Scott Sinclair who has been on loan at Plymouth so far; he's a strong player who, given the opportunity, rips defences apart. He will most likely come on in the second half to replace Drogba.

A win here won't necessarily guarantee the race for the League title is back on, but it will certainly help. Especially if Man City manage to hold Man U.
