Chelsea vs Arsenal: ARSENAL TO WIN WITH AH 0 

Chelsea seem to be finally starting to find their footing in the last couple of weeks, during one of their worst starts to a season in 20+ years. After a long time, Chelsea scored 4 goals against any opponent, like in the previous visit to Burnley. Wins against Fulham and Brighton and the EFL Cup could herald better days ahead. Poketino is a little calmer now, but the placement for the club from West London is still very bad, because the 11th position in the Premier League is a real debacle for a club like this.

Arsenal has been playing consistently well since the beginning of the season in the Premier League, and in some rounds they copied very good performances from the previous season. In doing so, they silenced many analysts who predicted that they would not be able to be in the race for the title this season alongside the superior Manchester City. If Arsenal wins this match, it is very likely that they will remain in 1st place together with city rival Tottenham. This is an opportunity to write history as well because this match is an opportunity for the 4th consecutive clean sheet on the road and the "Gunners" have never opened the season in this way.

This is a huge London derby that almost always brought matches full of intensity and energy. Chelsea will especially need that fighting spirit and team chemistry to get a positive result. This is an expensive team that still doesn't seem as homogeneous as Arsenal. Arteta has gradually brought this team up the ladder and now it is definitely a finished product. This could be the season that launches this squad very high.

The just mentioned excellent defensive record of Arsenal can decide in this match. Chelsea has problems gaining possession of the ball against superior teams, and it will be especially difficult against this rival against whom they have lost in the last 3 matches at Stamford Bridge. In our opinion, Arsenal to win with AH 0 seems like a smart option. In case of a draw, we get the stake back.
