Arsenal vs Chelsea: Laurent Koscielny banking on home form for title triumph

Arsene Wenger will be desperate to set the record straight and go back on top of the table after Leicester City‘s 3-0 win against Stoke City sees the King Power Stadium outfit on first position.

This shows what the table would look like if the last 38 games counted – the last 15 rounds of last season and the first 23 of this term.

Sanchez has notched six goals and two assists this season, and now he has recovered from injury Arsenal fans will have fingers crossed that he can lead them to glory in May. You can do it! Rather than discuss his side’s prospects of overcoming that margin, he said his priority was ensuring his team played with “ambition…even when there is nothing at stake”.

In a recent interview with the Sunday Mirror, he said: ‘I am very happy at Arsenal and I’m not thinking about leaving. We suffer the defeats and enjoy the victories together.

But that’s next year; this year, Arsenal need to beat Chelsea at the Emirates in order to regain the top spot from the aforementioned Leicester City.

“We take each game and we will see”.

But managing Sanchez isn’t always easy, with Wenger struggling at times to rein in a player who wants to be on the pitch every minute of every game. “We’ve drawn too many of late so we needed these three points”.

“They’ve changed the manager and I thought Guus Hiddink would have got a bigger response than he has had”.

Rather than extending their unbeaten run to five matches and piling the pressure on chief title rivals Manchester City, Arsenal reversed it back upon themselves.
