It has been a tough couple of weeks in the Premier League for Arsenal, who are in danger of losing ground to the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City above them and next up is a tricky looking trip to Chelsea. The blues have been steadily improving under Enzo Maresca but still have work to do if they are to crack the top 4 but this one feels bigger for Arsenal’s respective ambitions.

Chelsea vs Arsenal Analysis
This should be an entertaining encounter for all punters and EPL betting sites in West London.
Chelsea
Enzo Maresca looks to be turning the tide a touch at Chelsea, with the blues still struggling to maintain any sort of Premier League consistency. A top 4 finish looks to be within their grasp this term and they have spent plenty of money chasing a return to the Champions League next term. They have plenty of options at their disposal and should be bang up for giving Arsenal a test here, in a huge game with all punters and Premier League betting sites.
Team news: Jadon Sancho is the only slight injury doubt here for Chelsea.
Chelsea Predicted Lineup:
Sanchez, James, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Lavia, Palmer, Neto, Madueke & Jackson.
Arsenal
Defeats to Bournemouth and Newcastle on the road have seriously checked Arsenal’s progress so far this season and the Gunners find themselves 7 points off the pace in the title race. Mikel Arteta is battling plenty of injuries in his camp though and with some very tough away days navigated so far, they have plenty of time to turn the tide in the Premier League. This does feel like a significant fixture for them though and they need to put in a performance here.
Team news: Kieran Tierney, Martin Odegaard and Takehiro Tomiyasu all remain sidelined for Arsenal.
Arsenal Predicted Lineup:
Raya, White, Gabriel, Saliba, Timber, Rice, Partey, Trossard, Martinelli, Saka & Havertz.
Chelsea vs Arsenal Prediction
This should be a very good game at Stamford Bridge, between two sides that will be desperate to beat each other. Chelsea have been ticking along nicely of late and this feels like a chance for them to solidify their top 4 credentials. Meanwhile Arsenal have work to do if they are to force their way into the title race and they should just about get back on track here.
Prediction: Arsenal to win the match – 6/4 (+150) – Rhino Bet.
Chelsea vs Arsenal – The Ultimate Bet
Arsenal to win to nil – 7/2 (+350) – Fitzdares
This could be a very cagey one, with Arsenal famously strong defensively, they could manage to scrape though this one, adding to their list of scrappy wins this term on the road.
