Chelsea vs Arsenal Prediction, Odds and Betting Tips

🏆 Chelsea vs Arsenal Prediction

Over the previous 10 games, the EPL form table doesn’t make such good reading for Chelsea fans. After all, while Arsenal have taken 23 points during this period and lost only once, the Blues have triumphed just three times and recorded a paltry 12 points (while also scoring only 13 goals). The Gunners also hold the edge in the two sides’ historic head-to-head record, winning 83 of the 207 matches played since November 1907 (Chelsea have won 66 such games while 58 have ended in draws).

However, the Blues have won their last two Premier League matches to return to some kind of form, while Chelsea’s recent performances have been deceptively impressive despite a relative lack of points and goals. For example, their tally of 19 big chances created this season is the sixth highest in the competition this season, while they’re second only to Manchester City when it comes to passes completed (4,939). So, they’re sure to be compact, creative and competitive against Arsenal, who despite being unbeaten in 2023/24 so far, have struggled to rediscover the fluency of the previous campaign.

So, I’m backing an enthralling 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge, which will may well satisfy both sides in the cold light of day.

1️⃣ Chelsea Update

Following the appointment of Graham Potter as Chelsea manager on 8 September 2022, the Blues have played 52 matches in all competitions, losing 22 of these and winning just 18. However, current coach Mauricio Pochettino finally appears to have introduced some stability and structure into the starting eleven, while their impressive 4-1 win at Burnley last time out saw the Blues claim two successive EPL victories for the first time since March 11th. They’re certainly moving in the right direction ahead of their clash with Arsenal and should relish the contest in front of their own fans.

Currently, Chelsea have 10 players absent through injury, including seven prominent first-team stars. However, the Blues should be able to field the same starting 11 that performed so well at Turf Moor last time out if they choose to, although French centre back Axel Disasi remains a slight doubt with a muscle complaint.

2️⃣ Arsenal Update

Arsenal produced a disciplined and organised display when beating Manchester City last time out, although they continued to lack the attacking fluency and swagger that characterised many of last season’s performances. Still, the side’s improved strength in depth was clearly evident against the Citizens, with Kai Havertz, Thomas Partey and Gabriel Martinelli (who arrived to score a late winner) all starting the match on the bench. They also remain enduringly tough to beat under Mikel Arteta, having lost just one of their previous 10 Premier League games and conceded a paltry seven goals during this period.

Dutch defender Jurrien Timber remains the only certain and long-term absentee for the Gunners with a cruciate ligament rupture, but winger Bukayo Saka (thigh) and influential defender William Saliba (toe) are also slight doubts ahead of the trip to Stamford Bridge.
