Arsenal fans in Nigeria confident of victory over Chelsea on Saturday


Arsenal
After a 4-0 victory against Maccabi Tel Aviv, Jose Mourinho would have renewed his confidence to face old rival Arsenal in Saturday Premiership League.
.
The Chelsea manager has an important decision to make before facing Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday.
.
But with the fresh memory of Arsenal 1-0 Victory in the Community Shield over Chelsea, the Arsenal fans are confident that the gunners would carry the day.
Not minding its 1-2 loss to the unpopular Dinamo Zagreb, in yesterday Champions League, Arsenal fans believe that the Blues do not have what it takes to stop the gunners at present.
.
In their twitter handles, the Arsenal fans described the Chelsea opponent Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Champions League as underdog that any Nigeria local team could beat.
.
Mourinho made six changes for the Group G Champions League game on Wednesday after Chelsea lost their third league game out of five at Everton last Saturday.
.
Regular starters John Terry, Branislav Ivanovic, Nemanja Matic and Diego Costa were on the bench.
The commanding victory could boost confidence among the Chelsea ranks but Mourinho must decide whether to return his underperforming stars to the lineup, or keep faith with players such as Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Loic Remy, who impressed against Maccabi.
.
With Willian and Pedro Rodriguez expected to miss the Arsenal game through injury, Eden Hazard should keep his starting place, despite an unconfident performance against Maccabi where he missed a penalty after five minutes.
.
Chelsea are six points behind Arsenal in the Premier League after the Blues' worst start to a season since 1986, but the Stamford Bridge faithful have more reason to be optimistic than they did earlier in the week.
With the Gunners due to visit West London this coming Saturday, Chelsea and Arsenal experienced differing fortunes in their opening Champions League group games.
Jose Mourinho's defending Premier League champions won 4-0 at home to Maccabi Tel Aviv, while Arsene Wenger's FA Cup holders lost 2-1 away to Dinamo Zagreb.

Dinamo ZagrebAnd that's before we even mention the obvious needle between both managers.
