Saturday’s Predictions

Arsenal vs QPR (15:00 GMT)

Two of our London rivals face each other day, and Chelsea fans will be hoping that QPR can hold the hosts to at least a draw, as they did against us a few weeks back.

Arsenal may be 10 points behind us, but only the foolish would rule them out of a title challenge this early, especially with a tough month of fixtures to come for us before the New Year.

The West London Derby with a twist… QPR vs Chelsea

It’s a battle of the big spenders this Saturday, as we travel to Loftus Road in high spirits, after winning all three of our fixtures so far, whilst QPR have just the one point from theirs, shipping nine goals in the process.

Rangers have added no less than eleven players this summer, and are yet to really gel as a team, unlike Chelsea, who have seen Hazard and Oscar fit into their set-up remarkably, with the former picking up the man-of-the-match award in every fixture so far.

From The Opposition Corner….. Reading

Reading are the first visitors to the Bridge this season, in a repeat of the game that caused Petr Cech’s horrendous head injury.

The Royals are enjoying Premier League football for the first time since 2007/08, where they were relegated, just one season after finishing eighth in their debut season in the top flight.

Chelsea vs Blackburn Preview

Chelsea host Blackburn this afternoon in the final set of Premier League fixtures for the season, although the home side still have the small matter of the Champions League final to worry about next Saturday.

The visitors have already been relegated after they were beaten by fellow strugglers Wigan last week, whilst Chelseas hopes of qualifying for next years Champions League via league position were dashed, as Liverpool took revenge and beat them 4-1 in midweek.

Liverpool vs. Chelsea Preview

Chelsea face Liverpool tonight in a rematch of the FA Cup Final three days prior, with Liverpool seeking revenge for the loss on home turf.
                        
Chelsea bossed that game, and only the introduction of the much criticised Andy Carroll sparked a comeback, although the reds still lost the game 2-1, missing out on a domestic cup double.

Arsenal vs Chelsea Preview

Both Chelsea and Arsenal come into this game not knowing which European front they will be competing in next season.
     
The task is simple for Arsenal, win their games, and they will finish third, and qualify for the Champions League. Finish fourth, and they will qualify, providing that Chelsea do not win this seasons competition.
