Chelsea vs Arsenal Preview and Team News
Chelsea Team News
Chelsea come into this match on the back of a strong 5-1 win over Charlton Athletic in the FA Cup. In the Premier League, their most recent result was a 1-2 loss to London rivals Fulham.
Against Charlton, Chelsea registered 74% possession and an impressive xG of 3.59. They took 30 shots, 16 of which were on target and nine were big chances.
The Blues had gone four games without a win prior to that result and now appear to be finding form at the right time.
Chelsea have quite a few players unavailable. Mykhaylo Mudryk and Marc Cucurella have been suspended, while Andrey Santos, Dario Essugo, Levi Colwill, Malo Gusto, and Romeo Lavia have all been ruled out with injuries.
Chelsea predicted lineup vs Arsenal (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; Hato, Tosin, Chalobah, Acheampong; Caicedo, James; Neto, Fernandez, Palmer; Delap.
Arsenal Team News
Arsenal sit atop the Premier League table, but pedigree will count for little in this tournament. They’ve been undefeated in their last five matches, with one draw and four victories.
Their most recent game was a 4-1 win over Portsmouth, in which Gabriel Martinelli scored a hat trick despite completing just 69% of his passes. His xG of 1.51 should see him retain his place in the starting lineup.
Kai Havertz and Piero Hincapie are doubtful due to a lack of fitness and a muscle injury, respectively. Manager Mikel Arteta may also have to make do without Cristhian Mosquera, Riccardo Calafiori, and Max Dowman due to various injuries.
Arsenal predicted lineup vs Chelsea (4-3-3): Raya; Lewis-Skelly, Gabriel, Saliba, Timber; Rice, Zubimendi, Odegaard; Martinelli, Gyokeres, Saka.
Chelsea vs Arsenal Prediction
- Pick: Arsenal to win or draw
- Odds: -286 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Chelsea 1-2 Arsenal
Arsenal are expected to win or draw. Their current form is extraordinary, as they’re riding a five-game unbeaten streak, whereas Chelsea are struggling big time, with just one win in their last five matches.
The Gunners have displayed an attack-based brand of soccer. Martinelli, with three goals against Portsmouth, is in red-hot form, and will be supported by Bukayo Saka, who has 11 goal involvements across all competitions this season.
Chelsea vs Arsenal Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -145 (20Bet)
We expect both teams to score. While Arsenal are expected to find the net given their good form in the final third (13 goals in five matches), Chelsea should also break through at least once.
The visiting side have a few defensive weaknesses due to the injuries to Calafiori, Mosquera, and Hincapie, which should benefit Chelsea. The hosts come into this match after scoring five goals in their most recent encounter, which will give their attackers a big confidence boost.
