With the Premier League title race all but over for Arsenal, the Gunners will be looking to keep their hold on second place in the table, as they take on Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium. For the visiting blues, this feels like a free hit, as they look to keep pace in the race for a top 4 finish and they could enjoy being the party poopers in North London in this one.

Arsenal vs Chelsea Analysis
Historically, this fixture tends to deliver, and this could be another Premier League classic.
Arsenal
Following a recent Premier League implosion, the Champions League looks to be the Gunners only chance of landing a trophy this season and the pressure has been ramped up on Mikel Arteta. Catching Liverpool in the title race feels very unlikely at this point, with a 15-point gap having opened up but all Arsenal can do for now is win the game in front of them. The atmosphere here at the Emirates should be charged and Arsenal will be up for this one.
Team news: Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Bukayo Saka remain out injured for Arsenal.
Arsenal Predicted Lineup:
Raya, White, Gabriel, Saliba, Timber, Rice, Partey, Merino, Odegaard, Nwaneri & Trossard.
Chelsea
A gutsy win over Leicester City last time out has given Chelsea a big boost in terms of their top 4 aspirations and they now have their fate in their own hands. This is a tricky looking trip to Arsenal but if they could pick up a result, Enzo Maresca’s men will be starting to believe that they could crack the European spots. Chelsea also have midweek distractions in the form of the Europa Conference League against FC Copenhagen, but they should rotate their squad, to be as fit as possible for this one.
Team news: Nicolas Jackson, Noni Madueke, Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia and Marc Guiu will all miss out here for Chelsea.
Chelsea Predicted Lineup:
Jorgensen, Gusto, Tosin, Colwill, Cucurella, Caidedo, Fernandez, Palmer, Sancho, Neto & Nkunku.
Arsenal vs Chelsea Prediction
This should be a fantastic encounter at the Emirates, with both sides hoping to kick on between now and the end of the campaign. Arsenal’s title bid has burnt out in recent weeks, and they need to get back on track in the Premier League. Chelsea have failed to beat anybody of note in the Premier League in recent weeks and Arsenal could hold their nerve against them here.
Prediction: Arsenal to win the match – 1/1 (+100) – Rhino Bet.
Arsenal vs Chelsea – The Ultimate Bet
Arsenal to win & BTTS – 5/2 (+250) – Fitzdares
With both sides failing to show consistency in recent weeks, it feels like all three results are in play but goals feel guaranteed and Arsenal could come out on top at home.
