Arsenal vs Chelsea Preview

Chelsea’s unbeaten Premier League run under Liam Rosenior faces its sternest examination yet on Sunday afternoon. The Blues travel to the Emirates Stadium to take on league leaders Arsenal. The Gunners return home buoyed by a dominant 4-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, while Chelsea arrive after a frustrating 1-1 draw with Burnley at Stamford Bridge.

Arsenal’s latest North London derby success showed both their attacking firepower and growing resilience. After an early setback following a Declan Rice error, Mikel Arteta’s side responded emphatically, with Eze and Viktor Gyokeres leading a ruthless attacking display. That win restored a five-point cushion at the top of the table, even if Manchester City retain the chance to narrow the gap with their game in hand.

On the other hand, Chelsea have taken 14 points from their last six league matches. However, recent home draws against Leeds United and Burnley have exposed lapses in game management. As a result, Rosenior will face a difficult tactical challenge. Arsenal have had the upper hand in recent meetings, including EFL Cup semi-final success earlier this season.

Both Teams to Score looks well-supported given the patterns on both sides. Chelsea have hit BTTS in each of their last six matches in the league and Champions League. Meanwhile, Arsenal have seen both teams score in six of their last eight. Gunners will be on the front-foot style in this derby while Chelsea will create lot of chances.

Total Goals Over 2.5 also makes sense because these teams are consistently trending towards higher-scoring games. Six of Chelsea’s last seven cleared the line and six of Arsenal’s last seven also went over 2.5 goals. With both squads carrying multiple goal threats, one quick breakthrough could quickly turn the contest into an open exchange.

Draw or Chelsea @ 2.3 is a slightly risky angle. But Chelsea do have enough quality to stay competitive and are likely to be highly motivated after their recent defeats to Arsenal in the cup. They will deliver a more disciplined and sharper performance after recent draws in the league.
