Arsenal vs. Chelsea Predictions

• Where: Emirates Stadium, London, England
• When: Sunday, March 1, 5:30 pm ET

The game at the Emirates Stadium could define this Premier League season, with Arsenal battling for the title and Chelsea for the spot that leads to the Champions League. The Gunners had a tough challenge against Tottenham last weekend, which they overcame successfully, but now they face another London rival. Chelsea needs to find consistency because the Blues aren’t delivering the results everyone hoped for, winning on the road and wasting points at home. With so much at stake, we expect to see one very intense and aggressive battle at Arsenal’s stadium this Sunday afternoon.

Arsenal vs. Chelsea Preview

Arsenal

Arsenal demolished Tottenham 1-4 in a game that showcased the Gunners’ clinical finishing and reminded everyone why this team stands out as one of the best in Europe and the favorite to win both the Premiership and the Champions League.

When discussing their attack, we have to say it scored two or more goals in a game in four of the last five contests. Apart from losing to Manchester United a month ago, Arsenal hasn’t lost at home all season, which is encouraging their fans.

Also, we should note that in the past three contests at Emirates Stadium, Arteta’s team has kept a clean sheet. This was Arsenal’s biggest power early in the season, though after the New Year, we haven’t seen stretches like these.

Chelsea

When it comes to Chelsea, their performances have no logic at all. The Blues are beating rivals on the road more or less easily, but when it comes to collecting points at home, they have been very poor in recent times.

After posting a draw against Leeds 2-2, they’ve managed to waste two more points against Burnley. Despite taking the lead early, the game ended in a draw, 1-1.

Chelsea’s matches on the road are pretty efficient, and only two in the past ten have not ended with three or more goals. Also, eight games throughout that streak had seen both teams scoring.

Arsenal vs Chelsea Head to Head

The first matchup of the season at Stamford Bridge ended without a winner, 1-1. These two local rivals have met in the English Football League Cup, where Arsenal triumphed in both legs. After defeating Chelsea 2-3 on the road, they’ve posted a narrow home victory, 1-0.

Arsenal vs. Chelsea Predictions

We already said there’s so much at stake ahead of this matchup, and, aside from the reputation and rivalry, both teams would like to win for various other reasons. Despite the high efficiency these teams have delivered recently, we really don’t expect to see many goals due to the factors mentioned above. A moderate efficiency, 2 or 3 hits at most, is the perfect choice for this matchup. And may we say that the odds are pretty satisfying.

Our verdict: 2 or 3 goals
