Well I'm joint top with Chelsea in the league with 3 games left. I'm managing Arsenal and Chelsea are visiting the Emirates soon. It's a key game and after all the hard work I'm keen on coming out with atleast a point. And hopefully I'll win the league on GD.

I need tip and tips are what I need fast from you tactical geniuses. I'm sorry I can't provide screenshots but I'll make do.

Basically here Chelsea's formation.
A 4-4-2 diamond -

Torres Drogba
Malouda
Essien-Lampard
Ramires
Cole-Terry-Alex-Ivanovich

I'm playing a balanced 4-2-3-1 with Djourou (Song is injured)and Poli in front of the back four of Clichy Vermaelen Hummel Sagna.

My key players of Nasri, Van Persie, Walcott are injured so in come Wilshere, Bendtner and Chamakh who are all hit and miss. I have Fabregas playing behind Chamakh.

What do you guys suggest I do? Take the game to them and leave myself open? Or stay tight and defensive and hope for the best?

Any help will be much appreciated.
 
Take it to them. You're at home. Attack down the flanks and utilise your pace against Chelsea's slow defence.

What pace mate? Nasri and Theo are out. I had Eboue in Theo's place and it worked wonders but now he's injured too. So i have no choice but to player Bendtner on the Left and Chamakh upfront.
 
Try play with a possesion type game and take the chances when the time arises.

Hm. Either way, attacking down the flanks against a diamond is the way to go, due to their lack of width. If you can get down the flanks and either work the ball in or utilise the height of Chamakh, then you should have a good chance. Just be sure to retain the ball well.
 
Make the most of their narrow-minded mentality and use the wings and make the most of what pace you have.
 
Yeah, Play a 4-5-1 with your wingers Cutting inside and Fullbacks attacking on the overlap.
Dont Let Your Midfield Lose shape though.

Heres my advised team too.
Gk-whoever
DR-Sagna
DL-Clichy
DC-Your prefered team
DMC-Song Obv
Cm- Id play Denilson and Diaby (Know its a big one dropping Fab but these too are more physical and should be able to put up a better midfield batle physically)
RW-Arshavin
LW-Nasri
ST-Walcott(Faster, will Kill JT and Alex/Luiz)

Play Cm's as Central Mid-Defence.
Focus Passing down flanks
Lots of Crosses
Fast tempo
Yes to Counter.
 
Definately have to exploit those flanks, possibly have your 2 Fullbacks set to attacking and have a DM set him to anchor man, passing short, creative freedom less and mentality defensive, then he could drop into CB when you are being countered. Its what I use and I beat Man Utd 4-0 at Old Trafford

Im giving an Arsenal fan advice on how to beat Chelsea to win the league :O
