Arsenal Betting Preview
Arsenal comes into this game sitting in second place having picked up 75 points. If Arsenal wants any chance to win the Premier League, they need to pick up three points here. Two games ago against Southampton, Arsenal played to a 3-3 draw. In the last game against Manchester City, Arsenal only scored a goal while the defense gave up four goals. William Saliba is dealing with a back injury and it doesn’t look like he’s going to be back for the rest of the season. Takehiro Tomiyasu and Mohamed Elneny are both dealing with knee injuries and they are going to be out of the rest of the season.
Chelsea Betting Preview
On the other side of this matchup is Chelsea who sits in 12th place in the standings having picked up 39 points. In the last game against Brentford, Chelsea failed to score any goals and that led to the defeat. Chelsea had 73 percent of the possession and four shots on target. Mason Mount and Reece James are both out the rest of the season. The biggest issue for this team all season has been the offense, and they are going to really struggle to score in this game.
Shane’s Free Pick
On one hand we have a Chelsea team that struggles to score, and on the other hand we have an Arsenal team that has struggled to defend against anyone. Chelsea has struggled to score but this Arsenal team would struggle to defend a lower level team. Chelsea is going to score at least two goals, and that is going to be the difference here. Arsenal just doesn’t have much of a chance right now against anyone. Back Chelsea on the money line.
