Form
Arsenal are top of the Premier League on goal difference with a return of 74 points from 33 matches. The Gunners bounced back from their shock defeat at home to Aston Villa by defeating Wolves 2-0 at Molineux at the weekend.
Chelsea have picked up in recent weeks and are now one of the most in-form sides in the Premier League. Three points on Tuesday will see Mauricio Pochettino’s side leapfrog Manchester United and West Ham United and move into seventh position. The Blues have earned 47 points from 31 matches and claimed a 6-0 win at home to Everton in their most recent Premier League fixture.
Arsenal v Chelsea: Head-to-Head
Chelsea have won just one of their last nine matches against Arsenal and are winless in the last four. The corresponding fixture at the Emirates last season ended 3-1 to the hosts thanks to goals for Martin Odegaard (two) and Gabriel Jesus. Noni Madueke scored for Chelsea.
The reverse fixture at Stamford Bridge earlier this season finished 2-2. Cole Palmer and Mykhailo Mudryk gave Chelsea a 2-0 lead before late strikes from Declan Rice and Leandro Trossard earned Arsenal a share of the spoils.
Team News: Cole Palmer Doubtful For Chelsea
Chelsea’s top goalscorer, Cole Palmer is a major doubt for Tuesday’s trip to North London after missing training through illness. At Monday’s press conference, Chelsea boss, Pochettino explained, “We need to assess tomorrow morning. Today, I don't believe he can be involved because we need to assess him and then decide. If he will be good tomorrow maybe he is not in a condition to play.”
Betting Tips
Arsenal have an excellent recent record against Chelsea and their hopes of winning would be boosted further by the possible absence of Cole Palmer. The Gunners look good value for the win at 9/20.
Mikel Arteta’s side boast the best defensive record in the Premier League with just 26 goals conceded in their 33 matches so far. However, there is rarely a clean sheet when Arsenal and Chelsea meet. Both teams have scored in eight of the last eleven matches between these sides including both the reverse fixture at Stamford Bridge and last season’s league match at the Emirates. Both teams to score on Tuesday looks a solid bet at 4/6.
If you’re looking to boost your odds then you should consider combining the two bets mentioned above. Arsenal to win and both teams to score will prove extremely popular at 7/4.
Leandro Trossard is arguably Arsenal’s most in-form player in front of goal with four goals scored in their last eight matches in all competitions. Trossard scored the final goal of the match in the 2-2 draw earlier in the season and looks a sensible betting option in the various goalscorer markets. You can back Trossard to score first at 13/2 or 2/1 to score at any time.
Cole Palmer has been one of the signings of the season in the Premier League and if he shrugs off the illness that has kept him out of training then he’s the obvious choice when looking for a Chelsea goalscorer. Palmer opened the scoring in the reverse fixture, one of twenty that the youngster has scored in the Premier League this season. Palmer is the joint-highest scorer in the Premier League this season and is 11/4 to score at any time on Tuesday.
