Chelsea vs Arsenal Prediction: 9/2 Goalscorer Tip, Team News & More

Chelsea and Arsenal go head-to-head at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon in a top-of-the-table Premier League clash, live at 4.30pm on Sky Sports.

The Gunners opened up a six-point lead at the summit following their 4-1 demolition of Tottenham, but while Man City slipped to a defeat at Newcastle, Chelsea jumped up to second after claiming their third straight win.

Chelsea have won just once in their last 11 league encounters with Arsenal, and that was four years ago, while they've failed to win any of the last six meetings at Stamford Bridge.

That said, there are reasons to believe Chelsea can secure a result here. The Blues have quietly climbed to second in the table with five wins from their last six matches and are fresh off an impressive 3-0 victory over Barcelona in the Champions League.

Arsenal, who had gone eight games without letting in a single goal, have now conceded in each of their last three matches and will be without key defender Gabriel once again.

With players like Estevao, Pedro Neto, and Alejandro Garnacho in fine form, Chelsea are well-equipped to trouble the high-flying Gunners. A score draw, which has landed in the last two clashes between the sides at Stamford Bridge, represents an appealing price at 16/5 with BOYLE Sports.

Both teams have plenty of players capable of scoring from all areas of the pitch, but I particularly like the 9/2 on offer for the in-form Pedro Neto to find the back of the net.

Neto has been directly involved in five goals over his last five Premier League games - three goals and two assists - and has scored in his last two league outings against Wolves and Burnley.

The winger can also draw on an impressive attacking return against Arsenal, with two goals and an assist in his last three starts against the Gunners, including scoring in last season’s 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge.

Cole Palmer's availability remains uncertain, but the Blues will definitely continue to be without Levi Colwill and Romeo Lavia. Malo Gusto picked up a knock against Barcelona.

Arsenal skipper Martin Odegaard made an appearance off the bench against Bayern Munich, and will be pushing for a start against Chelsea, as will Gabriel Martinelli and Noni Madueke, who both scored off the bench against the German giants.

The Gunners will hope to have the likes of Kai Havertz, Viktor Gyokeres, and Gabriel Jesus back available for selection. Gabriel is still sidelined, while Leandro Trossard is a doubt after he was forced off against Bayern.
