Arsenal were robbed of an equaliser in Moscow, when Thierry Henry's goal and it was a goal, was ruled out for handball. However, that would have been an ill deserved point, as they were outplayed for long periods.
Arsene Wenger was very impressed and called them the best Russian side for years. That seems very likely, they are coasting to another domestic title and have yet to concede a goal in 5 Champions League ties this season.
The Emirates Stadium has yet to become the old Highbury stronghold and CSKA can frustrate the Gunners. Their Brazilian trio of Love, Dudu and Carvalho, often capture the headlines, but they boast a team full of internationals and in, Igor Akinfeev they have, quite possibly, the best goalkeeper in the world.
As soon as Chelsea had their goalkeeping crisis, my first thought was that he would be on his way to Stamford Bridge, either in the transfer window, or off season. Arsenal have struggled to break sides down this season and almost 80% of their goals have come after the half time break.
I think the best way to approach this match, is to split our stakes, half on the 45 minute draw and half on the visitors, with a start. This is a match I feel confident about ..... famous last words.
3 points Arsenal-CSKA half time draw....... circa 2.50 general/ 2.62 currently on the exchanges.
3 points CSKA +1.5 goals asian line 1.79
That is it from me today, but I have a lot to pass on tomorrow, please check back.
Good Luck.
