Our featured English Premier League match taking place on Tueday sees Chelsea bid to complete the double over Arsenal when the teams meet in a London derby at Stamford Bridge
Chelsea
Chelsea conceded an injury time goal in a 1-0 defeat at Newcastle at the weekend but they remain in fourth place, 6 points shy of third placed Leicester and 5 better off than Manchester United and Wolves. Their lerague record of 5 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats at Stmaford Bridge is just the ninth best in the division. Southampton, Bournemouth and West Ham were all surprise winners at this ground late last year but the most recent home game did see Chelsea cruise past Brunley 3-0.
Arsenal
Arsenal drew 1-1 at home to Sheffield United at the weekend and they remain in mid table, 10 points adrift of Chelsea. The Gunners have now drawn 4 of the last 6 with just 1 win and 1 defeat. That recent victory came at home to Manchester United (2-0) on New Years Day whilst the defeat came at home to Chelsea (2-1) in the first meeting between the sides this season.
Arsenal have won just twice away from home this season, at Newcastle at the start of the campaign and at West Ham in December. It's now 5 away games without defeat but 4 of those matches finished all square.
Recent Head to Head
The first meeting this season was Mikel Arteta's first home game in charge. Arsenal started well and Aubameyang opened the scoring on 13 minutes. The Gunners held the lead until the 83rd minute when Jorginho equalized and 4 minutes later Tammy Abraham struck to give Chelsea a 2-1 victory.
Chelsea won the corresponding fixture last season 3-2 at Stamford Bridge and they also beat Arsenal in the Europa League final (4-1).
The Betting
Chelsea can be backed at around 15/20 with the draw trading at 3/1 and Arsenal are 7/2
Over 2.5 total match goals is priced at 13/20 and both teams to score? (yes) is 6/10
Verdict:
Arsenal are making hard work of scoring goals with Aubameyang in the middle of a 3 game ban and they now come up against a Chelsea side who's home form is unpredictable in home games.
The Gunners have drawn 6 of 11 on their travels and rom the prices available in the match result market another draw makes most appeal.
Bet: Match result draw at 3/1
