Arsenal are the only team out of the top 4 to have to play 3 games in 6 days. Unlike Chelsea and City, both those games are away from home (all of Chelsea's games are in London):
Arsenal –
1/1/11 Away v Birmingham
29/12/10 Away v Wigan
27/12/10 Home v Chelsea
Chelsea –
2/1/11 Home v Aston Villa
29/12/10 Home v Bolton
27/12/10 Away v Arsenal
City –
1/1/11 Home v Blackpool
28/12/10 Home v Aston Villa
26/12/10 Away v Newcastle
United -
1/1/11 Away v West Brom
28/12/10 Away v Birmingham
26/12/10 Home v Sunderland
It might not be an excuse for only coming away with 1 point from last night’s game, but it appears that Wenger was right to rest players ahead of the games v Birmingham and City.
