Arsenal - WWDLLW
Availability isn’t a big problem, with just the sole fitness concern for the Arsenal gaffer Mikel Arteta to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed set of players. Jurrien Timber (Cruciate ligament tear) is sidelined.
We are thinking that The Gunners will possibly line up in a 4-3-3 formation for the game and select David Raya, Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel, Jakub Kiwior, Martin Oedegaard, Jorginho, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Martinelli.
Arsenal will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 0-2 Premier League success versus Wolverhampton Wanderers.
In that match, Arsenal managed 54% possession and 24 shots at goal with 9 on target. For Arsenal, goals were scored by Leandro Trossard (45') and Martin Ødegaard (95'). Wolverhampton W. had 5 attempts at goal with 3 on target.
An interesting characteristic of recent Arsenal games is the number of results with a nil in them.
From their prior six matches before this one, in 5 of them a wager on BTTS would've lost.
Coming into this meeting, Arsenal have not been beaten in the league by Chelsea in their previous 4 games.
Chelsea - WDWDWL
Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has multiple availability issues to deal with. Robert Sánchez (unknown injury), Lesley Ugochukwu (Hamstring injury), Levi Colwill (Toe injury), Reece James (surgery), Christopher Nkunku (Hamstring injury), Wesley Fofana (Cruciate ligament tear) and Roméo Lavia (Hamstring injury) are not ready for selection.
From our viewpoint, The Blues might utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Djordje Petrovic, Axel Disasi, Trevoh Chalobah, Thiago Silva, Marc Cucurella, Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Noni Madueke, Conor Gallagher, Mykhaylo Mudryk and Nicolas Jackson.
Since being beaten in their last game against Manchester City in FA Cup action, Chelsea will be hoping to turn things around here.
In that game, Chelsea managed 38% possession and 10 shots at goal with 5 on target. Manchester City had 14 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. Bernardo Silva (84') scored for Manchester City.
An offensively clinical Chelsea have managed to bag a plethora of goals over their last 6 clashes (18 to be precise). That works out as the ominous average of 3 goals scored per game for this period of time. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this match, however.
Their prior results show that Chelsea: haven't been defeated in their previous 4 away league matches, haven’t won away from home in the past 3 league games.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Jorginho, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Petrovic; Disasi, Chalobah, Badiashile, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Sterling, Gallagher, Mudryk; Jackson
Arsenal vs Chelsea Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
*Arsenal have a good historical record against Chelsea and have won 82 out of the 208 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Chelsea's 66 victories.
*Arsenal have lost only one of their last eight matches against Chelsea in the Premier League and are currently on the longest winning streak in the Blues in the competition since 2005.
*Chelsea lost this fixture by a 3-1 scoreline in the Premier League last season and have not lost consecutive matches away from home against the Gunners in the competition since 2003.
*Arsenal lost their previous match at home against Aston Villa by a 2-0 scoreline in the Premier League and last suffered consecutive such defeats in the competition in April 2022.
*Chelsea are unbeaten in their last eight matches in the Premier League and have scored at least two goals in each of their last six league games.
Prediction: Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea
Chelsea may have had few problems finding the mark in the Premier League of late, but their incredibly wasteful Wembley display is cause for concern before a trip to the best defence the Premier League has to offer, and Palmer's expected absence may resign some Blues fans to concede defeat already. With minimal recovery time on both ends, Tuesday's London derby should not be a goal-laden classic - especially with Arsenal losing their way in the final third recently - but the Gunners, who have opened the scoring in 25 Premier League games this term, can strike first and shut up shop to continue looking down on the other 19 teams in the division.
