Venue: Emirates Stadium (60272 seats)

Arsenal are positioned 1st, while Chelsea are loitering 36 points behind in the league table. Will they cut the gap?

Insights:
  • Arsenal have the most scored goals in the second half (44) in Premier League
  • Arsenal have scored more than double the goals of Chelsea.

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Chelsea form and stats

Playing away, Chelsea have won 4 games, drawn 4 and suffered 7 defeats in the Premier League this season. Three has not been a lucky number for Chelsea as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Liverpool match.

Chelsea have lots to prove after their unpredictable defeat (0-2) to Brentford in their previous match, played at their own home ground. Kanté, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.51. Kanté hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 4 of 5 times and had 56 successful passes (of 70 total).

The fixture earlier was the Champions League-duel against Real Madrid, a home loss (0-2).

Low on goals? 16 of this side's most recent 20 league fixtures have contained two or less goals.

The schedule is very tough for Chelsea now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier League game at AFC Bournemouth is waiting in only four days.

The attacking power of Chelsea when travelling is not overwhelming with 13 goals scored from 15 league matches away. As opposed to that, Chelsea have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road.

Chelsea - Arsenal 0-1 was the product when these two squads previously met, earlier this season. Arsenal-Chelsea H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Arsenal six wins, Chelsea three wins, one draw. seven of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
