In the match against QPR, Chelsea proved that they have the steel that went missing under the likes of Scolari and Grant. Even with nine men, they had the better chances and could have won the game on any other day.

However, Andre Villas-Boas will surely know that his side cannot afford such a misfortune against Arsenal because Arsenal are too good to pass by such an opportunity. After a indifferent start to the season, Arsenal slowly seem to be coming back to their best, but their true test will be coming in the form of Chelsea.
