v Arsenal - Condolence to Carlo Ancelotti and Family

When we all say that we truly love the game of football and how it is important to us, there is a time when we realise that as important it is to us, there are things in life that is much more important. Giuseppe Ancelotti the father of Chelsea manager Carlo pass away last Wednesday night at the age of 87. So, i would like to pass an honest and sincere condolence to Carlo and family for their loss.

Back to football. After suffering their first defeat in the league last weekend. Chelsea will be hoping to bounce back to winning ways when they entertain Arsenal at the Bridge. Chelsea once again will be without Frank Lampard, Salamon Kalou and Yousi Benayoun. Jose Bosingwa already featured in 2 reserve games is not fully fit after coming back from a long lay off. Meanwhile confidence at Arsenal is not that high either, losing to West Brom last weekend, and with first choice keeper Almunia, Fabregas and Vermalaen out with injury, it may as well be a good time to play the Gunners.

Drogba having a good record against Arsenal in previous matches is the key for Chelsea to get a good result on Sunday. Not playing the Champs League game on Wednesday and having a good rest, hopefully Drog comes back into the lineup fresh and raring to go.

Prediction: Chelsea 3 - Arsenal 1, Drogba to continue his hot streak against the Gunners.
