‘Gunners to feel force of Chelsea’s might’

(25-12-2010) Arsenal will feel the full force of Chelsea’s might on Monday, claims Blues defender Ashley Cole. The EPL champions have gone through a patchy period in recent weeks and have slipped to fourth on the league standings. Cole, however, is confident they are more than capable of repeating last season's 3-0 scoreline at the Emirates — especially with Frank Lampard, John Terry and Michael Essien back to full fitness. "We've been disappointing in our last six games and it's a big contrast to how we started the season,” commented Cole on Friday. "But we have a lot of big players back to fitness and it's going to give us a boost.” He added: “Any team who has their top players out is going to be affected. "The players who have come in have done a good job but you're always going to miss the likes of JT, Lamps and Essien.”
