Preston have nowhere near the level of quality Chelsea & they know they will have to adopt a policy of being very tight defensively, well organised & physically committed to counter the pace & fluency in Arsenal's football.

Preston are unlikely to make this an open game so Chelsea  will have to be patient & let their quality come through during the game, but with the likes of Malouda. Anelka & Van Lampard  in top form they should prove too good on the day & Chelsea look a strong bet to win this match.
