Team News

Arsenal
Chelsea
  • Mesut Ozil is a doubt with a knee injury that forced him to miss the match at West Brom, while Laurent Koscielny will be assessed after coming off in the stalemate.
  • Sead Kolasinac was taken off in the game at Hawthorns and is expected to sit out the welcome of Chelsea, while Nacho Monreal is a doubt.
  • Santi Cazorla, Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud all miss out through injury.
  • Andreas Christensen is available following a return to fitness and could replace Gary Cahill at the heart of the Chelsea defence.
  • David Luiz and Charly Musonda are both ruled out for the visitors.
  • Davide Zappacosta, Cesc Fabregas, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Eden Hazard are among those who could start.

Prediction

  • Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw with West Brom on New Year's eve and lost Sead Kolasinac and Laurent Koscielny to injury. The Gunners are unbeaten in their last six, but have only won two of those, however have dropped points just twice at the Emirates this season.
  • Chelsea are unbeaten in five, winning four, but have won only one of their last four away from Stamford Bridge. The Blues have kept a clean sheet in their last four league matches, yet have won only one of their last four league visits to Arsenal
  • However, Chelsea could inflict further misery upon Arsenal here.

  • 6 seems harsh for Chambers

  • Arsenal had 14 shots but only 6 key passes. How is this possible ?

  • @neumi17- There were solo efforts (aka non-assisted efforts) by Sanchez x2 (including a direct free kick), Xhaka, Lacazette, Bellerin & Mustafi. Both Arsenal goals were also non-assisted. That gives you the 8.

  • morata 6.8???

  • Omg, at least a draw. It would be really sad for arsenal to lose after such a performance

  • ahh my tip was so close a chelsea 2-1 win but I did say hazard will score so got that one right anyways see I am not always right football is such a game. Now antoni conte will say in interview aaa itsaaa not bad isaaa arsenal got how you say lucky. But props to junior marl he said 100% draw 2-2 correct score in his comment below looks like he is new here and in his first prediction he got it spot on so cheers junior marl may you make more predictions like this and you will become famous here.

  • @RemyLebeu Yeah its so close..anyway nice prediction from you... hope you keep us updated with your predictions in the future

  • @Cannavaro69 will do cheers mate

  • One day, Petr Cech will save a penalty and I'll be there to watch it. What a worldy from Bellerin.

  • fair game, chelsea dont deserved a win

  • @zmaximumo hazard dived

  • @SlimShady313 it was clear penalty though

  • @SlimShady313 they should be a warning sign saying hazardous area diving is likely.

  • @RemyLebeu LOL

  • Robbed of a win again... what the hell is wrong with the referee

  • That's what happens wen u have a 2yr old boy @left back #Nile

  • @Eronsmyguy- He played well and the cross which came in from Zappacosta should have been dealt with Mustafi. It looked innocuous until Alonso turned up completely unmarked in the middle of the 6-yard box. Ainsley should have done better but you should not concede goals that basic.

  • @Eronsmyguy What do u mean?

  • There is a third Goal..this match will end 2:1

  • morata is rubbish, we should not sell diego costa. bakayoko is rubbish too

  • @zmaximumo I talk like antonia conte: itsaaaa not rabbish itsaaaa makin moneyy for mr roman, I think that aaaayou seen that aaa its aaaa all mafia like very difiicult aaa we win as team we aaa lose as team.

  • soft penalty

  • eden hazard to score cannavaro where are youuuuuuuuuuu

  • @RemyLebeu Iam here

  • great game so far

  • The match is very interesting, the score will be 1:1

  • Morata is playing so bad

  • @kunoy Is he out of position?

  • @Mnemosaint i think so. He destroyed more plays than all three Arsenal defenders

  • Arsenal win or draw

  • hazard to score

  • chelsea to win 2-1 or 3-2

  • 1-3,2-4,0-3

  • 100% draw ,2-2 correct score

  • @Juniormarl perfect prediction

  • @Juniormarl Nice prediction.

  • I give you 2 good tips: Chelsea & Braga... If you want you van also bet Chelsea N2, bragaN2 ,juventus&maritime. Good luck gentleman

  • @Blondin94 great tip with Braga, didnt look straight forward but they got the job done which is all what matters, just unfortunate about Chelsea!

  • @Blondin94 You was really close ..the last minute goal by arsenal screwed it ...better luck next time

  • @Blondin94 Why you are so sure about those two teams?

  • @Cannavaro69 Because Chelsea will have the ball with thé links of Kanté & Bakayoko in midfield Arsenal won't be able to stop Morata & Hazard &co ... And that's already too much injuried players for the Gunners... I won't even talk about the défense they will line up today! Sorry for Arsenal fans but it 's gonna be a sad night tonight...

  • @Blondin94 Your analysis is right about Chelsea and i share your point of view.. but what about Braga? its just a sense from you?

  • please can anyone help me with 3 odd for the day?

  • In my opinion, Chelsea will win this game as they're currently gathering momentum and are playing vs. not so strong Arsenal side. But just for safety I think I'll play it Chelsea double chance - still a good odd.

  • Decent prediction. Reality is a little ugly for Arsenal at the moment. Chelsea is not Liverpool - they will not waste this chance. Chelsea ML for me.

  • i predict a Chelsea win here, they breezed past Stoke on Saturday without the likes of Hazard & Fabregas even stepping on the pitch and Conte was able to get Kante subbed off in the 65th minute and Morata 70th minute so Chelsea are well rested and full of confidence heading into this game. Arsenal struggled V West Brom on Sunday, they lacked creativity and it looks like they have lost two key defenders - Koscienly & Kolasinac, Ozil is a massive blow if he isnt fit for this game as he is Arsenals most creative player, Xhaka Sanchez & Lacazette played full 90 minutes and they was worked hard in that game - i just think with Chelsea having a extra days rest with a fully fit squad and full of confidence, they will win this game, i cant see the likes of Chambers, Maitland-niles, Elneny dealing with Morata, Hazard etc. Chelsea win!

  • @Southern17 Elneny?!! he will not see the pith anymore, i dont know what wenger see in this player

  • @Cannavaro69 i agree, Elneny is not a premier league player in my opinon. WS predict him to start which is likely, as Wenger may rotate Wilshere out as he has played many games lately, i would disagree with that decision and start Wilshere over Elneny.

  • @Southern17 yeah . thumbs up buddy...even Elneny will not be a 4th choice in midfield for Wenger

  • Over 10.5 corners

  • FH draw and Chelsea will eventually win!

  • Arsenal win

  • Arsenal 1 - 3 City Arsenal 1 - 3 united Arsenal 1 - 3 Chelsea what are the odds ? my prediction goaless draw Petr cech MOTM Arsenal 0 - 0 Chelsea

  • 14.29% MoM Alex Chamberlain? WTF!!

  • @albgunn Wich team he plays?

  • BTTS is the best option here

  • Both team to score. Chelsea likely win by 1 goal defisit

  • Arsenal win 100%.

  • @TSN Clearly you haven't watched Arsenal play in a while. We are woeful.

  • @Maniac Maybe you are the one who didnt watch Arsenal matches recently especially vs Manchester United .
