Wojciech Szczesny ponders watching Man City v Chelsea

Wojciech Szczesny says he may make an exception to his usual habits and tune in to watch Manchester City host Chelsea on Monday night.

The Arsenal goalkeeper helped the Gunners move back to the top of the Premier League table on Saturday thanks to a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace at Emirates Stadium.

I might make an exception and watch this one at home

And although the Polish shot-stopper would not usually watch Premier League games if he is not involved in them, he may keep one eye on the clash at Eastlands.

“I try not to watch games at home,” Szczesny told Arsenal player. “I try to focus on my own football and my own team. I don’t watch football very often.

“If it’s a big Champions League game then I watch it but Premier League… not really. Of course we know it’s a big game for the table, we know that Man City have had a fantastic record at home so they will be favourites. I might make an exception and watch this one at home.

“But it doesn’t really matter who’s top right now. Of course we’re there now, it might change [on Monday] but what we care about is who’s going to be at the top at the end of the season.

“We just try to take it game by game. We’ve got a couple of difficult fixtures now but we look at it as chance for us to create an even bigger gap between us and the teams behind us. We’re looking forward to it and we’re very positive.”
