Arsenal vs Chelsea – Betting Analysis
Looking at their previous head-to-head matches dating back to 01/08/2020 reveals that Arsenal has won 5 of them and Chelsea has won 1, with 0 of these matches ending in draws.

In their most recent league encounter, Chelsea defeated Arsenal 0–1 on Premier League Match Day 15 on November 6, 2022. Michael Oliver served as the official.
With Aaron Ramsdale, Ben White, Rob Holding, Gabriel, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka, Bukayo Saka, Martin degaard, Gabriel Martinelli, and Gabriel Jesus as starters, we anticipate The Gunners to perhaps open off this match in a 4-2-3-1 system.
Frank Lampard, the manager of Chelsea, is currently dealing with fewer team alternatives. Both Armando Broja and Kalidou Koulibaly will be absent due to cruciate ligament ruptures.
With Kepa Arrizabalaga, Wesley Fofana, Thiago Silva, Trevoh Chalobah, Cesar Azpilicueta, Ngolo Kante, Enzo Fernández, Mateo Kovacic, Benjamin Chilwell, Raheem Sterling, and Joo Félix as their starting goalkeepers, the Blues appear to be most likely to choose a 3-5-2 formation.
We think Arsenal ought to have a lot of shots on goal and convert them. Chelsea, on the other hand, will have a difficult time scoring, though we do believe they will ultimately succeed here at least once.
