H2H - Gunners Have the Edge

Arsenal have a 87-66 advantage against Chelsea, alongside 61 draws.

Arsenal Dangerous at the Emirates

Arsenal are unbeaten in 20 of their last 21 matches in all competitions. Mikel Arteta’s side have recorded seven home victories during that period.

The Gunners are on a four-match winning streak at the Emirates, including a 1-0 EFL Cup win over Chelsea. Arsenal restricted Chelsea to just 0.64 in that victory.

The North Londoners extended their home winning streak with a 3-0 win over Sunderland and a 4-0 triumph against Wigan. Arteta’s side allowed -1 XG in these matches.

Arsenal then drew 2-2 at Wolves before thrashing Tottenham 4-1 away. The Gunners had 2.07-0.76 XG and Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres both scored twice.

Chelsea Lacking Rhythm Under Rosenior

Chelsea’s strong start under Liam Rosenior has tailed off in recent matches. The Blues have failed to win in three of their last five in all competitions.

The West London side lost 1-0 at Arsenal and bounced back with a 3-1 home win over Wolves. They couldn't build winning form and dropped points in a 2-2 Premier League stalemate against Leeds.

Rosenior’s side struggled again in a 1-1 home draw with relegation-threatened Burnley. Joao Pedro scored in the fourth minute before Wesley Fofana was sent off and Burnley equalised in injury time.

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News

Arsenal (4-2-3-1): David Raya; Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Gabriel, Piero Hincapie; Martin Odegaard, Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice; Bukayo Saka, Viktor Gyokeres, Leandro Trossard

Midfielder Mikel Merino won’t feature due to injury. Defender Ben White is doubtful due to a knock.

Midfielder Max Dowman and forward Kai Havertz could return for the Chelsea game. Mikel Arteta gave a pre-match update on the pair and said, “Yeah, we are hopeful. Max will play some minutes tonight with the under-21s, Kai, we will see.”

Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Robert Sanchez; Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Trevoh Chalobah, Malo Gusto; Moises Caicedo, Andrey Santos; Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez, Pedro Neto; Joao Pedro

Centre-back Wesley Fofana is suspended and midfielders Dario Essugo and Romeo Lavia are injured. Defender Levi Colwill is also sidelined with a long-term injury.

Attackers Esteva and Jamie Gittens and defender Marc Cucurella are ruled out. Liam Rosenior confirmed the trio as absentees for Arsenal and said, “Estevao will be out for a little bit longer and Jamie Gittens is progressing in his rehab. Cucu is not available for Sunday.”

Verdict

Arsenal v Chelsea

Arsenal have good game management at the Emirates and can use their home advantage to beat patchy Chelsea. The Gunners won’t want to drop points in the Premier League title race and there’s value on a home win.
