Arsenal Vs Chelsea
Arsenal face Chelsea on Tuesday night despite Jose Mourinho’s protests that his side will only have a single day of rest having played Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.
The Gunners extended their lead at the summit with a good away win at Crystal Palace on Saturday lunchtime. Giroud and Arteta were on target at Selhurst Park.
Chelsea beat Manchester City in dramatic fashion following a last minute howler from Joe Hart. Fernando Torres looked very sharp but I expect Demba Ba to lead the line against Arsenal.
Multiple changes will be made on both sides but given the strength of Chelsea’s squad I expect them to progress at the expense of Arsene Wenger’s side.
Prediction 1-2
Newcastle Vs Manchester City
Newcastle United and Manchester City have an opportunity to bounce back following defeats in big matches this weekend.
The Magpies left The Stadium of Light empty handed following a late Fabio Borini strike. City were heartbroken following a last gasp blunder from goalkeeper Joe Hart.
Expect England’s number 1 to be replaced in goal amid a number of other changes by Manuel Pellegrini.
Newcastle have fewer options in their squad but are likely to make a number of changes.
Away win at St James’ Park.
Prediction 0-3
