Chelsea Betting Preview

Chelsea currently sits in 11th place in the standings having picked up 11 points. In the last game against Burnley, Chelsea scored four goals and that was enough for the three point victory. They actually gave up the first goal in the 15th minute, but their were four goals scored after the 42nd minute, and that was enough for the victory. Chelsea had 63 percent of the possesion and five shots on target. One big issue for Chelsea is they are dealing with all kinds of injury issues. Wesley Fofana, Christopher Nkunku, Ben Chilwell, Romeo Lavia, Trevoh Chalobah, and Carney Chukwuemeka are all dealing with injury issues and they all look like they could miss this game because of it. 

Arsenal Betting Preview

Arsenal currently sits tied for first place in the Premier League having picked up 20 points. Arsenal’s last game came against Manchester City and they were able to secure a 1-0 victory. Arsenal’s defense was really impressive and Gabriel Martinelli scored in the 86th minute. It’s clear that Arsenal has the team to win the Premier League, they just can’t take a big step back by not picking up three points here. Saliba is dealing with a toe problem still and it’s unclear how much success or playing time he’s going to get. 

Shane’s Free Pick

I do have a little bit of a fear of a letdown, but I don’t think this Arsenal squad is going to let them down. This Chelsea squad is dealing with injury issues and it’s going to really let them down again in this game. Arsenal is going to score at least two goals here and that is going to be the difference as they are going to get the job done. Back Arsenal to secure the victory and keep their spot on top of the Premier League.
