Arsenal must win

A week-long lapse in form has meant Arsenal dropping out of the Champions League and also losing the No. 1 spot in the Premier League. Currently, the Gunners have the same number of points as Liverpool and are one point ahead of Manchester City, who have one game less and can be expected to win their match. In the last game against Wolves, Arsenal always struck at the end of the half. Firstly, Trossard opened the scoring in the 45th minute and Odegaard sealed the deal in the 5th minute of the 2nd half to make it 2-0.

Chelsea’s biggest threat came from the Odegaard-Saka pairing. The Norwegian midfielder has scored 8 goals in the Premier League this season, Saka has scored 14.

Chelsea targeting top 6

The Blues have improved their game recently and thanks to the incredible Palmer they are aiming for a place in the elite 6. If we look at the results in the Premier League only, Pochettino’s team notched up a loss last time on February 4 against Wolves. Since then, it’s 4 wins and 4 draws in league matches. From a hopeless 10th place, Chelsea are already fighting for the 6th place, which they are only 3 points behind. There are still plenty of games left in the season and with the fading form of both West Ham and Manchester United, the chances of a better position are increasing.

A lot has been written about the London team’s biggest star in recent days. Palmer has caught up with Haaland in the scorers’ table and currently rounds up his goalscoring tally to 20. The Englishman is well followed by Jackson, who has scored 10 goals.

Betting tip – Arsenal to win

Arsenal don’t lose too often at home to Chelsea and moreover, they must win this game or their title hopes may disappear completely. As we’ve seen in several previous big games, 1st halves tend to be very tactical and this duel should be no exception. The match is unlikely to offer goal scoring opportunities and so the winning margin will not be large by any means.
