It probably wouldn't be recommended to mention this to Jose Mourinho, but the man who scrunched up the formbook when it comes to Chelsea versus Arsenal was not actually him.
Mourinho might appear to have put some kind of curse on Wenger (the latter has never beaten the former in 11 attempts) but it was not the cocksure Portuguese who was in charge for the moment that flipped the nature of this fixture.
Wenger was devastated by last season's harrowing trip to Stamford Bridge; the script could not have been any more excruciating.
After the big build up in anticipation of his 1,000th match as Arsenal manager, Chelsea eviscerated his team and the Blues supporters mocked Wenger by reprising one of Mourinho's callous one liners, chanting "specialist in failure" at him.
The experience proved to be the lowest of the low. "It was a massive, massive disappointment," Wenger says on the eve of his return to the scene of the crime. "I will never forget that day."
Question is, will Welbeck save Arsenal? OR...Fabrigas will put more pain on Arsenal!!
My Prediction: 2-0 win for Chelsea
