Preview of the Chelsea – Arsenal match

Chelsea and Arsenal battle it out at Stamford Bridge, with both teams on 18 points after their first 10 Premier League matches.

Both are seven points behind league leaders Liverpool after recent wobbles, and both could really pull off a resounding win in London on Sunday.

Perhaps this is more important for visitors Arsenal, who have gone through a difficult period.

The Gunners have lost three of their last six games in all competitions, including successive defeats to Newcastle in the Premier League and Inter in the Champions League – both without goals.

Arsenal dominated the possession statistics in both of these meetings, but lacked creativity and their opponents became somewhat predictable.

Mikel Arteta hopes a recovered Martin Odegaard can help him return to action against Inter after being out with an ankle injury since late August.

And the omens are certainly in his favor.

Arsenal have won three of their last four away Premier League matches against Chelsea and have also won their last six top-flight London derby matches by an aggregate score of 22-3.

Overall, Chelsea have defied the doubters at the start of the season but they have not been entirely successful at the moment.

Apart from thrashing Armenian minnows Noah 8-0 on Thursday, they have just one win in their last four league games and crashed out of the League Cup against Newcastle.

Enzo Maresca’s side also have a habit of scoring goals at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea have conceded at least one goal in each of their last six home Premier League games – their longest run without a clean sheet at home since the start of the season in 2011/12.

Betting tips and predictions for Chelsea vs Arsenal

Involved

Both teams are desperate to win the league and both have a habit of conceding. But Chelsea arrived the fresher of the two, having been able to rest their entire first team against Noah on Thursday.

One of those rested was Nicholas Jackson, who is hoping to add to his tally with six goals and three assists in 11 games this season.

By the way, he is also a fan of the London derby. Since the start of last season, Jackson has scored more London derby goals than any other Premier League player (10 goals, 2 assists), with 12 goals in his last nine such appearances.

Booked

Regular readers will know that I am always tempted by Kai Havertz’s warning, especially in a hotly contested London derby against his former club.

The 25-year-old Germany international was booked in his last top-flight match against Newcastle, taking his Arsenal tally to 15 cards in 67 games. He has also conceded more fouls than any other Arsenal player (19).
