Chelsea vs. Arsenal Betting Tips: 3/4 and 6/1 bets for blockbuster clash
Chelsea go up against their London rivals Arsenal in the Premier League this Saturday at Stamford Bridge in an all important clash as the Gunners look to go top of the league with a win.
Tipster Wizard is once again our man for the big occasion and has previewed Saturday's 5:30pm kick-off below...
The Blues currently sit 11th in the league table with 11 points after eight games. After a run of three games without a win, Pochettino’s men have now gone on a run of three consecutive wins in all competitions, scoring seven and conceding just one goal in that run. Chelsea’s frontmen are starting to fire and they will come into this game full of confidence and hoping for a positive result.
As for Arsenal, they sit second in the league table, level on points and goal difference with the league leaders Tottenham, who are top only due to scoring two more goals than the Gunners. Arteta’s men are one of the two premier league sides that are still unbeaten this season and they will be aiming to continue their dominant record over their London rivals in recent seasons as they have come out on top in each of their last three head-to-head meetings in the Premier League.
A blockbuster Premier League clash is on the cards and I have included two of my best bets in this preview below:
Team News:
Wesley Fofana, Nkunku, Lavia, Chilwell & Bettinelli are out for Chelsea while Disasi, Chukwuemeka, Chalobah, Badiashile & Broja are doubtful.
Jurrien Timber and Trossard are out for Arsenal while William Saliba and Bukayo Saka are doubtful.
Chelsea vs Arsenal Tips
- Over 3 cards in the match
- Martin Odegaard - Over 0.5 shots
- Conor Gallagher - Over 0.5 fouls committed
- Conor Gallagher - Over 0.5 tackles
The last two meetings between these two rivals at Stamford Bridge have seen a total of 11 yellow cards and we should see plenty of aggressive tackles and cynical fouls being committed here.
As for Odegaard, he is averaging the joint-most shots per game for Arsenal in the Premier League (2.6) and has had at least one shot in all eight league games so far this season.
Moving onto Gallagher, he has been a beast for Chelsea so far this season, averaging the most tackles per game (3.1) as well as the most fouls per game (2).
Combining these four selections gives us a solid bet builder at 3/4 that we will take as our main 1pt bet for this massive London derby.
Bukayo Saka is Arsenal’s main man in the attacking department with four goals and two assists in just seven league appearances, and has also had a goal or an assist in his last five games in a row in all competitions.
As for Gallagher, he has come up against Arsenal twice in a Chelsea shirt and has been booked both times.
Combining these two selections gives us a cracking longshot at 6/1 and we will be taking that as our second bet for this game.
Best of luck if you follow these selections. Please always gamble responsibly.
