Yesterday Chelsea and Arsenal were given favourable draws in the Champions League and both London teams are favourites to win their respective pools according to bookmarkers Betfair and Sky bet.
This great news for Arsenal as at the beginning of the season they were expected by the experts to fail to make the top four in the Barclay’s Premiership and struggle in the Champions League. We really like how Arsenal have silenced the experts since the start of season as they have had decent opposition and they have managed to score some great goals and win by big margins. Chelsea under a new coach and a diamond mid field formation have started strong and very close to playing at their the best of their abilities but you have feel that Chelsea are probably another 3 0r 4 games away from playing really attractive football.
Chelsea are in group D and have drawn against the following teams Porto, Aletico and APOEC. Arsenal are in Group H with AZ, Olympiacos and Standard. Chelsea can expect a hard games against Porto and Aletico when Chelsea are playing away from home. While Arsenal can expect tough games against AZ and Olympiacos.
Chelsea’s first game is on September 15th against Porto and Arsenal’s first game is on September 16th against Standard de Liège.
Bookmarkers Betfair (4/9) and sky bet (2/7) have Chelsea as pool winner. While Betfair (1/3) and sky bet (2/7) have Arsenal as pool winners.
