‘Chelsea clash to shape Gunners season’

(27-12-2010) Arsenal can prove their title credentials by beating Chelsea on Monday, says Gunners manager Arsene Wenger. The North Londoners lost 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in October and were booted off the EPL’s top spot after losing 1-0 at Manchester United in their last outing. Wenger however claims Monday's showdown could shape the rest of his team's season. "Of course this is a must-win game. We have mixed feelings because we came out of both games against Chelsea and Man United this season thinking we could have won,” said Wenger on Friday. "We have a good opportunity to show that in the coming months and that our improvement is bigger than any other team because we are a very young side.” He added: "It's about how well we respond to what happened to us at Chelsea and Man United that will be the decider for our season.”
