The North West London derby promises once again to be a spectacle for both supporters and neutral fans alike. And there could be so much more at stake here – Arsenal’s title bid. While Chelsea look to be set in the mid-table for this season, they will most certainly look to take the win here and crush their rival’s hopes for silverware.
Noticias del equipo del Arsenal
With Champions League elimination coming at the hands of Bayern Munich yet again, Mikel Arteta’s boys have only the Premier League to focus on for the remainder of the season. After a crucial victory over Wolverhampton in the previous round, Arsenal find themselves leading the Premier League table, albeit Manchester City have 1 game less. No slip-ups are allowed any more and lost points for any of the title contenders in the remaining 5 rounds can tilt the odds heavily in some direction. The positive for Arsenal is that they have just 1 loss in their last 10 league games and that in 8 of those games, The Gunners managed to score at least 2 goals per game.
Chelsea Team News
Chelsea are going through a bit of a revival in recent weeks with Mauricio Pochettino’s men securing 3 wins in their last 5 Premier League games. The Blues are undefeated in their last 8 league fixtures. But one thing that seems quite common in their games is the amount of goals, All of Chelsea’s last 6 Premier League matches have featured over 2.5 goals. While the team has indeed proven capable of finding the net, in terms of defending there is much to be desired. Chelsea’s clean sheet against Sheffield United in the previous round was only their second one in the league since January.

Arsenal – Chelsea Betting Prediction
Arsenal have no option but to look for the 3 points here. I expect them to go hard and try to secure a win here. This would leave them vulnerable at the back and The Gunners have shown defensive lapses this season. They will also not be helped by the fact that Chelsea is in some good form lately and has not tasted league defeat for some time now. But they too have often shown to be lacking in the defensive aspect of the game, even if they manage to make up for that with attacking proficiency, at least in recent weeks. My expectation here is that we will see over 2.5 goals and scoring from both teams.
