EBP League: Chelsea To Face Arsenal in Week 11
By Tanko Bauka
As the last international break for this year looms, some of the fixtures in the week 11 encounter in the English Barclay Premier League promises to be another memorable weekend for football for fans to savour.
It is also going to be exciting and entertaining, and one of the encounters that will capture the attention of fans across the world is the match between Chelsea and Arsenal, both London clubs’ home ground and Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea and Arsenal are the two titans in London and the rivalry when the two take to the football pitch, the town is divided into the blue half of Chelsea and the red half of Arsenal.
Arsenal’s form of late seems to have dipped following recent results, losing back to back,2-0 to AFC Bournemouth and 1-0 to Newcastle United as well as 1-0 to Inter Milan in the Champions League encounter.
Chelsea on the other hand seems to have found stability to their game but still find it difficult against the big boys though overall results shows that Chelsea can hurt any team badly on a good day.
Liverpool FC sitting atop the league table welcome Aston Villa to Anfield stadium and all that will be on the Liverpool players is the three points at stake and nothing more while Aston Villa will want to put behind them the 4-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend and also go for the three points.
Manchester City with their injuries crisis travel to take on Brighton Hove and Albion as they also seek to bounce back following the 2-1 setback suffered against AFC Bournemouth.
Manchester United under their interim coach, Ruud Van Nistelrooy seem to be gradually steadying their shaky ship going by the three matches played under him so far as they take on Leicester city for Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s last game in charge before exiting the stage for the newly appointed Coach, Ruben Amorim who will take over after the international break.
In the Spanish LA Liga, Real Madrid who are yet to come to terms with what is happening to them following bad results of recent will be at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium to redeem their image and glory against Osasuna while Villarreal host Deportivo Alaves as the encounter between Espanyol and Valencia has been postponed due to the flood disaster that caused devastating effects to both lives and property in Valencia.
FC Barcelona, who are having the good time of their lives in the 2024-2025 season so far, make a tricky trip to take on Real Sociedad.
In Italy, the battleground has been set for the clash of the titans, who sit in the first and second positions at the San Siro stadium in Milan, as Inter Milan welcomes Napoli in a supremacy encounter while Juventus will battle it out against Torino, Atalanta take on Udinese and in the German Bundesliga VFL Bochum host Bayern Leverkusen while FC St Pauli entertain Bayern Munich as Mainz 05 ambushed Burussia Dortmund.
