Premier League is fast approaching its finale with teams battling ever so hard to finish the season on a high. This weekend, we see a monumental top of the table clash between the 1st and 2nd ranked side Chelsea and Arsenal.
The weekend promises great footballing action for fans all over the world and I bring to you the top 5 things to expect this weekend, which will be the talking point for next few days.
It will be 13th time lucky for Arsene Wenger and Arsenal
Arsenal have an appalling record in the league against Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea. Wenger has gone 12 matches without a win against Mourinho’s Chelsea where he has lost 7 and drawn 5 games.
Jose Mourinho is inside Arsene Wenger’s head and eating his mind due to Wenger’s inability to find a way to beat the Portuguese master tactician. This Sunday, Wenger will welcome Chelsea with Arsenal in an amazing form having won 8 games in a row.
Form is with Arsenal as the heavyweights collide this weekend and I feel that the time is about right for Arsene Wenger to taste a win against Jose Mourinho. Alexis Sanchez, Olivier Giroud, Mesut Ozil and Santi Cazorla could lead Arsenal to a famous win this weekend.
Marouane Fellaini to enjoy his return at Goodison Park
It will be the first time Fellaini will return to Goodison park since signing for Manchester United about a year ago and all the things point toward the Belgian enjoying his return to his old stamping ground.
Fellaini was a mere shadow of himself under David Moyes but Van Gaal has turned the United-flop into an Undroppable player in United’s lineup. Fellaini has once again found a way to dominate the game from midfield and he will be quite a handful for his former Everton teammates.
A typical clichéd 6-pointer between Leicester and Burnley
Burnley go in to the weekend at rock-bottom of the league knowing that a win against Leicester could get them as high as 17th place if other results go their way.
This is how tight league is at the moment and we could get an old fashioned 6-pointer game in the League this weekend with both Leicester and Burnley fighting to maintain their safety in Premier League next season.
Sergio Aguero to take lead in the race for Golden Boot award
Both Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane are tied on 20 goals for the season and this weekend, Manchester City are up against Aston Villa while Spurs take on Southampton.
On the face of it, Aguero has an easier opposition this weekend and he should take the lead against Kane in the race for Golden Boot. Despite being off-color lately, Aguero showed signs of returning to form with his 2 goals against Manchester United and it cannot be a good sign for Aston Villa.
What kind of reception Cesc Fabregas will get at Emirates?
Arsene Wenger has done his best before the Arsenal-Chelsea clash to ensure Arsenal fans give Fabregas enough respect on his Emirates return this weekend.
Being told by the manager is one thing but will the fans will find it very hard to show love at Fabregas who were left to feel betrayed and cheated by him when he first forced his way out of Arsenal to join Barcelona and then seal his move to Chelsea.
Will he booed or battered, we will have to wait for Sunday to witness but initial signs do not look that good for Fabregas and he should not be surprised if he does not receive the same love which Juan Mata got on his visit to Chelsea.
