The premier league would keep on bringing on different challenges according to the goals of each team. While the teams at the top half of the league would be struggling for continental spots. This is different for teams in the bottom half of the league. The fear of the relegation zone would be enough to scare the teams and keep them fighting to the end. When Arsenal meet Cardiff in the Emirates stadium, it would be a match played by two teams trying to achieve two different things in the league.

Arsenal is in quite a fix in recent times. They are in the middle of a defensive injury crisis and they seem no way out for them. The latest injury that incurred was to Sokratis in the FA Cup match against Manchester United. While they look for solutions in the transfer market, they would no doubt have to improvise in this match. Arsenal is currently in 5th place in the league. They have amassed 44 points in the league this season out of 23 matches. They are on the same points with sixth-placed Manchester United and three points behind Chelsea. There is no doubt that the race for the top four would go down to the wire as every team would look to qualify for the tournament next year.

Cardiff City, on the other hand, is in a completely different situation altogether. They are currently embroiled in a relegation drop. They are currently in 18th place in the league so far after 23 matches. They have gotten 19 points from these games played. A win for them has the possibility of springing them out of the relegation zone. A loss would also not change their position in the league. The next team behind them has only 14 points. They would be looking to pose an upset when they meet Arsenal in the league.

Cardiff form has been woeful in the league so far. They have won just one match out of their last six matches. The remaining matches have ended in three losses and two draws. They have this face a herculean task to propel themselves out of their dreadful position. They would be wary of the fact that there are only 15 matches left in the league. Time is slowly running and if they are to survive, they would need to start wrapping up the points.

Arsenal form has dipped in recent times. They have won three matches out of their last six matches. The remaining games have ended in three losses. They would also be wary of the fact that the top four is here to be challenged. Any unnecessary dropping of points may be fatal to the chase. With Manchester United breathing on their necks, they would be looking to win their games in as much as they can.

When both teams take to the field, there would no doubt be a lot of things to play form You came to expect the match to be nothing short of entertaining.
