Chelsea
The London club played to a draw with Manchester United (1-1) at Old Trafford in the last round. Before that, they defeated Newcastle at home with a score of 2-1. The club moved up to fourth place, although they had a chance to climb to third, but Nottingham Forest moved ahead, leading Chelsea by one point. Notably, Enzo Maresca's side has scored 20 goals in the current league season, ranking third behind Tottenham and Manchester City.
- The Londoners have not lost in 8 of their last 9 Premier League matches (5 wins and 3 draws).
- Both teams scored in Chelsea's last five league matches.
- A maximum of three goals were scored in 7 of the club's last 8 Premier League encounters.
Arsenal
The Gunners have been unable to win in the league for three matches. The team lost away to Bournemouth (0-2) and Newcastle (0-1), and drew at home with Liverpool (2-2). The club hasn't experienced such a winless streak in the league since December last year. As a result, Mikel Arteta's side has dropped to fifth place, although they trail Chelsea only on goal difference.
Due to injuries, defenders Takehiro Tomiyasu, Riccardo Calafiori, and Kieran Tierney will miss the match. Also, forward Raheem Sterling will not play due to loan agreement terms.
- A maximum of three goals were scored in 9 of the last 13 league matches for the Londoners.
- The club has not won in three consecutive away matches in the Premier League (1 draw and 2 losses).
Chelsea vs. Arsenal: match prediction
The Gunners are already 7 points behind the leader. Interestingly, last season Mikel Arteta's side missed out on the league title due to a 3-match winless streak in December. The team is clearly intent on making amends for recent slip-ups, which requires scoring more than the hosts. And it seems likely that Chelsea will find the net, given their strong performance in the current league season.
In their last 13 home Premier League matches, Chelsea scored two or more goals 10 times. Arsenal lost their last two away league matches without scoring, but before that, they scored in seven consecutive away games, with at least two goals in five of those.
Additionally, in 7 of the last 10 head-to-head Premier League meetings, the London clubs scored at least three goals combined. My prediction – Total over 2.5 goals at odds of
