Arsenal face Chelsea at the Emirates on Sunday afternoon in a fascinating London derby. Liverpool’s superior lead at the top of the table will leave the Gunners knowing they now have a very slim chance of winning the league. On the other hand, Chelsea find themselves in a competitive battle to secure a Champions League spot for next season.
The home side have been hit hard with key injuries in the second part of this season which has left them unable to maintain a serious challenge for the title. However, they are still in a good position to finish 2nd. The Gunners have a good record against the big six this season on home soil beating both Manchester clubs and Tottenham. Despite falling slightly, Arsenal have a traditionally strong record at home – they have won 21 of their last 28 home league games. Arsenal’s recent record against Chelsea is impressive winning 5/7 previous meetings. With their strong home record, defence and impressive record against Chelsea in recent years, they will be confident of being able to secure the 3 points.
Chelsea have struggled in the league recently with just 4 wins in their last 12 games. In particularly, their away form has been uninspiring in the league as they are winless in their last 6 away games losing 4 of these matches. In addition, Chelsea have failed to beat any of the current top 8 away from home this season. Injuries have also affected Chelsea, especially the injury to Nicolas Jackson. This has hindered the Blues attacking threat and has seemed to affect Cole Palmer’s output. He has 0 goal contributions in the last 9 games which demonstrates how much Palmer and Chelsea as a team have struggled since Jackson’s injury. The fact that Arsenal have conceded the fewest goals in the league will make it an extremely tough test for the Blues.
