Arsenal v Chelsea

Arsenal vs Chelsea Preview

Arsenal return to the top of the Premier League table with a 2-0 win away from home at Wolves which would have been a relief for Mikel Arteta & Co after slipping to a disappointing 2-0 loss at home to Aston Villa, while Chelsea lost out 1-0 to Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final on the weekend but The Blues will return to top flight action on Tuesday night no doubt looking to extend their unbeaten sequence in the Premier League to nine games overall.

Prior to that loss at home to Villa, Arsenal had put together an excellent and impressive 11-game unbeaten run in the Premier League which included picking up no fewer than 10 wins within this period which consisted of five victories on home soil at their Emirates Stadium.

Home wins against Crystal Palace, Liverpool, Newcastle United, Brentford and Luton Town have helped maintain Arsenal's push for this season's Premier League title and needless to say Arteta and his squad will be determined to get over the line this time around.

The bigger picture shows The Gunners have suffered just the two defeats out of their last 17 home games in the English top flight whilst collecting no fewer than 13 wins in the process.

Chelsea bring an eight-game unbeaten sequence in the Premier League into this all-London clash at the Emirates Stadium which includes picking up victories against the likes of Crystal Palace, Newcastle United, Manchester United and Everton respectively which has helped lift Mauricio Pochettino's side up into the top half of the table in ninth place.

Chelsea have also picked up important points in draws with Manchester City, Brentford, Burnley and Sheffield United but the visitors face the tough task of keeping an in-form and confident Arsenal team quiet in their own backyard on Tuesday night.

Manager Mauricio Pochettino will still be demanding more from his players especially on the road where The Blues have managed to capture just two wins from their previous 10 outings on their travels which came in the form of wins collected at Luton Town and Crystal Palace but they have also slipped to five defeats as well.

Losses at Newcastle United, Manchester United, Everton, Wolves and Liverpool suggest this upcoming trip to the Emirates Stadium could end up being a tricky evening at the office for Chelsea.

Goals could feature as well on Tuesday night as six of Chelsea's last 10 away games have produced four goals or more.

Arsenal v Chelsea Verdict

Arsenal have won four out of the last five meetings against Chelsea so The Gunners look the more likely to grab the three points here although an improved Chelsea side are expected to push their hosts all the way here.
