Do or Die for Arsenal

After storming into second place, the Gunners now face a true test of their title credentials with trips to Villa Park and Stamford Bridge, as well as visits from Manchester United and Liverpool.

Win the majority of these matches, and Arsenal will be in pole position during the season’s final stretch. But slip up, and it will be curtains.

Chelsea (a) February 7

Chelsea’s 3-0 win at the Emirates in November marked the nadir of Arsenal’s season – with many officially ruling them out of the title chase. Arsenal’s dramatic revival has since defied the skeptics, and Wenger’s men will no doubt be looking for revenge against their London rivals. But Stamford Bridge has been an absolute fortress this season – the Blues have dropped only two out of 33 available points there.

Lesson learned? The Gunners were torn apart by Chelsea 3-0.

Next up: Liverpool (home)

   My Arsenal predictions: Win v Villa. Loss v Chelsea. Loss v United. Loss v Liverpool. No Premiership crown.
