Arsenal is hoping to get back to winning ways in the Premier League, as it hosts Chelsea on Sunday.
The game, the biggest of the Premier League this weekend, will kick off at 2.30 pm and will be broadcast live on SuperSport Premier League GOtv channel 62. Mikel Arteta, the Arsenal manager, will be under the microscope, following a run of three games that brought two draws and a defeat to leave them trailing league leaders by a massive 15 points, having played one game less. A win will reduce the gap to 12 points and raise hopes, though fading, that they still can beat Liverpool to the title. On the other hand, Chelsea has won two of its last three games, moving into fourth on the log after the underwhelming 1-0 victory over Leicester last weekend. The Blues will seek to consolidate their position by taking something from the game.
Also, on Sunday, floundering Manchester United will be guests of prime relegation candidates, Leicester. The match, which kicks off at 8 PM, will also be aired live on Super Sports Premier League GOtv channel 62.
Leicester, managed by Manchester United legend and former interim manager, Ruud van Nistlerooy, look doomed with five losses in their last five games. The team sits 19th on the 20-team log. It’s opponents, who has won once in the last five, look the better prospects for a victory. Their strong showing in the 1-1 draw at home to Arsenal last weekend provides a basis for optimism against opponents that have been notoriously obliging.
