Head-to-Head

Arsenal have won four and drawn one of their last five matches against Chelsea.

Arsenal Form

Arsenal made it two wins in two Premier League matches when they beat Aston Villa 1-0 in their second match.

Arsenal have made a perfect start to their title defence, beating Coventry City 3-0 before edging Aston Villa 1-0. Mikel Arteta’s side are yet to concede in the Premier League, with Bukayo Saka already scoring twice and Kai Havertz leading the line effectively.

Defensive injuries are a concern, however, with Jurrien Timber and William Saliba unavailable and Ezri Konsa likely to start alongside Gabriel. Christos Tzolis could also come under pressure from Eberechi Eze after a difficult outing at Villa Park. Arsenal have dominated this fixture recently and are unbeaten in their last 11 meetings with Chelsea.

Chelsea Form

Chelsea have won both of their Premier League matches in addition to beating Luton 2-0 in the League Cup.

Chelsea have also opened the league season with back-to-back wins, defeating Fulham 3-2 before overcoming Brighton in a seven-goal thriller. Xabi Alonso’s side have looked particularly dangerous going forward, with Cole Palmer, Joao Pedro and Morgan Rogers all making strong early contributions.

Palmer has two goals and an assist and could reach 50 Premier League goals for Chelsea this weekend. The Blues’ attacking threat is obvious, but their defensive vulnerability could be tested against Arsenal. Jordan Henderson and Marco Palestra are unavailable, while Chelsea will also be aiming to end an 11-match winless run against their London rivals.

Arsenal vs Chelsea Team News & Squads

Arsenal (predicted XI): Raya; White, Konsa, Gabriel, Calafiori; Lewis-Skelly, Rice; Saka, Odegaard, Tzolis; Havertz.

Chelsea (predicted XI): Martinez; Lacroix, Colwill, Fofana; James, Gusto, Lavia, Hato; Rogers, Palmer; Pedro.

Verdict

Arsenal v Chelsea

I am backing Arsenal to win. I am also backing Bukayo Saka to score for Arsenal. Joao Pedro is a good bet to score for Chelsea.
