Arsenal vs. Chelsea Predictions

• Where: Emirates Stadium, London, England
• When: Wednesday, April 24, 03:00 AM

This London Derby could have a massive implication on the final standings. Arsenal chases the title, and the Gunners need three points desperately here. On the other side, Chelsea has no competitive motive in terms of improving its position in the standings, but on the other hand, their rivalry with Arsenal forces the Blues to play this on with 100% of their power.

Arsenal vs. Chelsea Preview

Arsenal

Losing to Bayern in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League was a bitter pill to swallow for the Gunners. They weren’t outplayed in this matchup but simply didn’t have enough experience to battle the Bundesliga titans. 

Arsenal now needs to show its fighting spirit, otherwise, this team won’t do anything notable. They still have chances to lift the Premiership trophy, yet a win over Chelsea is an absolute must. 

The Gunners are ruthless at home, having 12 wins in 16 EPL games, with two losses and ties each, scoring 38 and allowing 15 goals. Though, the previous appearance there was unsuccessful, with Aston Villa triumphing at the Emirates, 0-2. 

Chelsea

The Blues had to play the FA Cup semis against Man City this weekend, and after that, must endure another rough challenge. This time, the stakes aren’t that high for Pochettino’s unit, but there is pressure because the fans won’t tolerate any more failures. 

Chelsea’s season is one nightmare, not only for the players and staff, but also for the fans who hoped to see their favorites back to the top of the Premiership. After losing Roman Abramovich, this team has been on the sidelines when talking about big trophies.

Prior to taking Man City, the Blues hadn’t lost in eight consecutive and also rode a five-game unbeaten streak on the road, winning two matches and posting three times in a row afterward. All but one of their last nine outings ended with both teams netting.

Arsenal vs Chelsea Head to Head

The only direct meeting between the two this season ended without winners. It was 2-2 at Stamford in late October, with Arsenal coming back following a two-goal deficit. Before this event, Arsenal had four wins in a row over Chelsea, scoring ten goals combined while allowing three. 

Arsenal vs. Chelsea Predictions

Chelsea is all about the attack, and that’s something pretty clear looking at their results. The only chance for the Blues to win is to focus on scoring as many goals as possible. Arsenal’s team also has the same disbalance of quality between the offense and defense, which is why we pick over 2.5 goals. 

Our verdict: Over 2.5 goals
