Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Arsenal vs Chelsea

Arsenal

Arsenal lost to league rookie Brentford in the first round of the championship and showed a very weak game, which clearly disappointed the fans of Londoners. The gunners practically did not create anything at the enemy gates without their leaders Alexander Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and made several fatal mistakes in defense.

Arsenal's problems have not gone away and Mikel Arteta is again under very great pressure from the public. The fight against Chelsea also does not promise an easy life for Arsenal, but the Spanish mentor's charges are in a position where they have nowhere to retreat.

Chelsea

But Chelsea has successfully started a new championship in England, defeating Crystal Palace at home. In addition, do not forget that just recently Londoners won the UEFA Super Cup, which means that after such a cool start to the season, the Blues players are clearly in a great mood.

Chelsea has not won an official match against Arsenal in a long time, so in the new game, Thomas Tuchel's team will clearly be motivated to perform well, which will help the guests to take all three points. It is in the future match that the return of striker Romelu Lukaku, who again became a Chelsea footballer, is planned.

Game Totals Prediction

The central match of the second round of the English Championship will present the fans with a principled London confrontation - Arsenal will play against Chelsea. Bookmakers rightly give their preference to Chelsea, which started well into the new season, but the Gunners have played quite successfully against the Blues in recent years and clearly intend to perform well again. Both Arsenal and Chelsea will be determined exclusively for a positive result for themselves, so it is logical to bet on "both teams will score" for 1.93.
