Chelsea vs Arsenal Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

North London Derby is set to have plenty of goals and drama. 

After a thumping win over Noah in the midweek round three action of the UEFA Conference League, Chelsea are set to lock horns with rivals Arsenal at Stamford Bridge on Sunday in the 210th North London Derby, which will be full of thrills, drama, and action. 

Chelsea are coming into this game on the back of an excellent victory where their second-string side terrorised Noah’s team to secure a dominating 8-0 victory to register the biggest win in the history of this competition. Now, the Blues will turn their focus to the Premier League where they are set to take on the Gunners. Enzo Maresca has all the tools to pull a win here after giving a much-needed rest to his starting eleven before this important clash. 

Arsenal, on the other hand, haven’t been in their best form this season. The Gunners are currently languishing in fifth position, level on points with Chelsea, accumulating 18 points, with only goal difference separating these two rival sides. Mikel Arteta will have plenty to ponder after suffering consecutive defeats, with his side failing to score any goals in these games. Nevertheless, recent success over Chelsea will surely give them the confidence to secure the win here.

Players to Watch

Cole Palmer (Chelsea) 

Cole Palmer has been sensational for the Blues ever since stepping into the team. He has started the new season in eye-catching form in his new role as a number ten role where he is thriving given the freedom to roam and impact the game.

Credit needs to be given to Enzo Maresca, who has utilised him well, keeping him fresh for Premier League games. His numbers this season have been mind-blowing, already registering seven goals and five assists from ten games.

Bukayo Saka (⁠Arsenal)

Bukayo Saka has developed into one of the best players for club and country and has been in scintillating form the second in brilliant form for Arsenal this season scoring three goals and adding another seven assists to his name.

 He has been a nightmare for opposition defenders this season due to his ability to get past them at ease with his direct running and trickery. He remains the player to watch out for the Gunners in this game. 

10 – Bukayo Saka has been directly involved in 10 goals in eight appearances in the Premier League this season (3 goals, 7 assists); the fewest games by an Arsenal player to reach 10+ in a single campaign since Cesc Fàbregas in 2009-10 (6 games). Talisman. pic.twitter.com/Dp8QbniLqS
