Prediction
Arsenal 3 Chelsea 1
Moneyline (ML)
BET ARSENAL (+160).
Simply simply put, Arsenal is the better and healthier option, and the combination, despite being on the move, could be enough for Chelsea.
The Reds fell to Man City on the road but they’ve also defeated Tottenham as well as Liverpool in the last two seasons. The Reds have scored 2.5 scores per game, and even have a 4-1-1 record at home.
Chelsea hasn’t lost in their home games, however, they haven’t faced a top-level team, with their best performances with a draw of 2-2 against Tottenham and a 1-1 draw against Man U. In two of their five home games (West Ham as well as Leicester City), Chelsea were unable to score more goals than expected.
Combine it all Take it all together, and I’d recommend Arsenal as the more exciting skilled team.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET OVER 2.5 (-110).
Chelsea has played five home matches in the EPL and in four of them, they’ve been over this amount. In eight of their games across all competitions, they’ve been over the total in just six games.
With several crucial defenders absent and a few key defenders not available, the Arsenal attack that is scoring an average of 2.5 goal per game,, will be able to get loose. Arsenal has surpassed this mark in 3 of their four road EPL games.
Each team should expect the game that is played out at a fast rate, and I’m expecting at least three goal scoring.
