Once again, Arsenal has run out of gas. With 55 points, they sit second in the table but are far behind Liverpool, who hold a 15-point lead. This means they will have to settle for fighting for the runner-up spot—their third in a row.

The ‘Gunners’ have wasted many opportunities and come into this match without a win in their last three games, losing at home to West Ham (0-1) and drawing against Nottingham Forest (0-0) and Manchester United (1-1).

Injuries to key attacking players have hurt Mikel Arteta’s squad. Bukayo Saka has been out since December 21, while Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz are also sidelined. Gabriel Martinelli managed to return against the Red Devils, but Arsenal’s attack has suffered, scoring just one goal in their last three games.

At home, they have had a strong campaign, winning eight matches, drawing four, and losing only once—which happened in their last game against the ‘Hammers.’

The bright spot in all this is their qualification for the Champions League quarter-finals after thrashing PSV with a 9-3 aggregate score. They will now face Real Madrid in the next round.

Chelsea, on the other hand, was the big winner last weekend. Not only did they defeat Leicester 1-0 with a goal from Marc Cucurella, but thanks to Manchester City’s loss, they managed to surpass them in the Premier League standings and move into fourth place—the last spot that grants a Champions League berth.

They have 49 points, two more than the ‘Citizens’ and six behind their upcoming opponent. They come into this match with two consecutive league wins at home. However, their away form has been poor, with three straight losses, four defeats in their last five games, and a six-game winless streak on the road.

With 53 goals, they are the third-highest-scoring team in the league, and Cole Palmer leads the squad with 14 goals and six assists. However, the Englishman has gone 10 games without scoring or assisting in all competitions and even missed a penalty against Leicester.

During the week, they secured a spot in the UEFA Conference League quarter-finals by eliminating Copenhagen with a 3-1 aggregate score. Their next opponent will be Legia Warsaw from Poland.

They have several injured players, but the most notable absences are Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke, along with the suspension of Mykhaylo Mudryk.

This is possibly the worst moment of Arsenal’s campaign, while Chelsea comes in motivated after reaching fourth place and is determined to hold onto it. It’s a derby, and these matches are played differently, but the ‘Gunners’ attacking absences will prevent them from securing a win, resulting in a draw.

The odds at Gambyl Exchange favor Arsenal, with their Moneyline set at 1.82, Chelsea at 4.52, and a draw at 3.90.

The last time they faced each other on November 10 of last year ended in a 1-1 draw. The last time they played at Emirates Stadium, Arsenal won 5-0. The ‘Gunners’ are unbeaten in their previous six meetings, with four wins.

Go for a draw in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 at 3.90, you will gain $290 for a total payout of $390.
