Arsenal Match Betting News
Following a shaky start to the season, Arsenal have made a fine recovery in recent times and the Gunners find themselves on an impressive six match unbeaten run in all competitions at the moment.
That being said, there is still room for improvement in terms of performances for Arsenal and manager Arsene Wenger will surely need his players to be playing to their maximum potential this weekend as the Gunners prepare to take on a dangerous Chelsea side at the Emirates Stadium.
The likes of Carl Jenkinson, Per Mertesacker, Aaron Ramsey and Danny Welbeck remain ruled out for Arsenal at the moment while there are doubts regarding the participation of star striker Olivier Giroud due to a slight knock.
Chelsea Match Betting News
Antonio Conte experienced his first defeat as manager of Chelsea last week after his side went down 2-1 at home against Liverpool in Friday night’s game.
Chelsea did manage to recover by claiming a 4-2 victory over Leicester City in the midweek EFL Cup encounter and Conte will want his team to get back on track in the Premier League as well.
Doing so will not be easy this weekend as Chelsea prepare for a very difficult away encounter against rivals Arsenal on Saturday and the Blues will have to play extremely well in order to claim a result from the encounter.
John Terry is out injured for the clash while Kurt Zouma also remains a long term absentee for the London giants.
Arsenal vs Chelsea Match Prediction
Arsenal have failed to beat Chelsea in their last 10 Premier League encounters and the run proves that the Gunners perhaps seem to have a psychological problem against their rivals.
Gunners’ boss Arsene Wenger will be glad that he is not up against a Jose Mourinho led Chelsea though and the Frenchman should be confident of earning a positive result this time around.
That being said, Antonio Conte is also a tactical mastermind and given the two closely matched sides, a score draw could be on the cards on the day.
