Chelsea vs Arsenal - Live On The Internet

There is no hiding the fact that there are a lot of London derbies played out over the English season. What can't be denied either is the fact that Chelsea vs Aresnal has become the most significant derby in terms of Premier League position. When Manchester United don't win the Premier League it tends to be either Chelsea or Arsenal that does and that is what ads the extra significance to this London derby. Chelsea have a reuptation for the more direct football whilst Arsenal's short intricate passing game is perhaps the most attractive to watch in the whole of the Premier League when it's on form. As a result games between Chelsea and Arsenal tend to be fine footballing affairs (No pun intended).

The latest match between the two teams on Sunday the 7th of February should be no different. Chelsea are currently second in the table and Arsenal 3rd. A win for Arsenal will do them a huge amount of good after suffering badly at the hands of Manchester United last week. Many pundits see this as Arsenal's last chance at having a say-so in where the Premier League title will end up this season. Anything other than a win for Arsenal will surely see them out of the title race. Chelsea on the other hand sit only 1 point of first in the league and with a game in hand. Even losing to Arsenal wouldn't be seen as a total disaster but Chelsea at home will certainly be going for the 3 points. Maybe with the pressure off a bit it will enable Chelsea to play their best football?

Chelsea vs Arsenal is another of those games that falls under the category "best watched live in a pub". As Chelsea have grown their profile around the world there is always interest in their games, especially big ones like this so there will no doubt be lots of places to watch Chelsea vs Arsenal live online.
