Arsenal v Chelsea

Arsenal vs Chelsea Preview

Arsenal's winless run in the Premier League continued last weekend with a 1-1 draw away from home at Manchester United and although that result would have been considered a useful point, that now means The Gunners have lost further ground on the league leaders, Liverpool, with The Reds now holding a 15-point lead at the top of the table.

Chelsea still have a lot of work ahead of them if The Blues are to nail down a top four finish in this season's Premier League season but Enzo Maresca's side will feel a whole lot better about themselves having recently posted back-to-back wins against Premier League strugglers, Southampton and Leicester City, respectively.

Arsenal have suffered a disappointing 1-0 loss at home to London rivals, West Ham, along with being held to draws with the likes of Nottingham Forest and Manchester United, but overall results still remain fairly solid and consistent where Mikel Arteta's side are concerned.

Indeed, The Gunners have been dealt just the single defeat within their last 18 matches overall in the English top flight along with picking up 10 wins in the process, so the north London hosts will fancy their chances of returning to winning ways on Sunday lunchtime.

Arsenal have also lost just once in their last 16 home games in the Premier League, collecting 11 wins within this period as well.

Chelsea will be looking to pick up a third league win on the trot in north London on Sunday having accounted for strugglers, Southampton and Leicester City, but this upcoming encounter against Arsenal is expected to be a very different proposition for Enzo Maresca's side as both of their previous wins were also registered on home soil at Stamford Bridge.

Results overall in recent times have been largely disappointing from Chelsea's point of view as The Blues have managed to capture just four wins from their last 12 matches which includes earlier victories over the likes of Wolves and West Ham.

Interestingly, all four of Chelsea's victories within their last 12 games have been achieved on home soil at Stamford Bridge while also slipping to five defeats within this period as well; results away from home have taken a nose-dive in recent weeks though.

Chelsea have now failed to win any of their last six outings on the road in the Premier League and includes being handed four defeats as well, with losses incurred on the road at Ipswich Town, Manchester City, Brighton and Aston Villa respectively.

Arsenal v Chelsea Verdict

Chelsea have conceded two goals or more in four of their last six away games in the English top flight and this could haunt the visitors once again when they come up against an Arsenal outfit who will be keen to return to winning ways.

Therefore, our main bet will be Arsenal win @ 1.80
