Arsenal’s derby clash with London rivals Chelsea on Tuesday evening could have major ramifications for this season’s Premier League title race.
A victory for the Gunners at The Emirates Stadium would allow the hosts to move three points clear of rivals Liverpool and four ahead of Man City at the division’s summit with just four games left to contest, though an improving Chelsea will be eager to upset their trophy-chasing neighbours.
The Blues, who are loitering in 9th position, have been threatening to mount a late-season charge for sixth spot and a victory in North London over Arsenal would put them level on 50 points with the team currently occupying sixth place, Newcastle.

⚔️ Arsenal v Chelsea Head-to-Head
Arsenal’s reverse Premier League fixture against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in October was evenly matched and keenly contested, with the teams ultimately sharing the spoils in an exciting 2-2 draw.
The Gunners mustered 13 attempts to their hosts’ 11 on that occasion, though Chelsea were the more accurate outfit, hitting five shots on target to Arsenal’s three.
Tempers in that encounter also threatened to spill over and seven cards were produced on an evening of hot tempers. That was the second time in three meetings between Arsenal and Chelsea that at least six cards were shown.
Arsenal dominated the corner count (7-2) in that pulsating draw in December and the team’s final corner tallies were the same when they last locked horns at The Emirates Stadium a little over a year ago (7-2).
The Gunners won that tussle 3-1 and three of the last four Premier League skirmishes between the clubs have featured at least four goals.
The price for over 2.5 goals, over 4.5 match cards, and over 8.5 match corners to occur again is available at an attractive 3.07 as a Bet Builder with bet365.
Arsenal racked up a searing ten shots on target when they roared to victory against Chelsea (3-1) in North London last May and the Gunners can be backed at 2.25 with bet365 as a single to have over 6.5 shots on target again here.
📊 Arsenal Form and Stats
Arsenal are straining every sinew to win their first Premier League title since 2004 and the Gunners look like they have the staying power to push for glory this year having crumbled in the run-in 12 months ago.
Mikel Arteta’s side were the picture of professionalism in their win at Molineux against Wolves (2-0) on Saturday and they showed plenty of resolve to dig that win out having been dumped out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich just a few days before.
Arsenal lost for just the second time at home in the league this season when they were defeated by Aston Villa and former manager Unai Emery on April 14, though their form was imperious before that.
The Gunners had collected 31 points from the 33 on offer before their surprise reverse to the Villans, conceding just four goals in total during that 11-game surge.
Indeed, Arsenal’s defending has been superb for the majority of the campaign, and alongside holding the division’s best defensive record (26) so far, the title hopefuls also rank first for xGA (22.4).
At the other end, Arsenal have been averaging 2.0 goals and 17.6 shots per home game, which is less impressive than the figures posted by title rivals Man City (2.52, 18.8) and Liverpool (2.52, 24.5).
All but one of Arsenal’s five Premier League defeats this season were suffered against teams positioned in the top nine and the Gunners failed to score in four of those five losses.
However, last weekend’s defeat to Aston Villa was their first setback since January 1st and Arsenal’s overall league form since the turn of the year has been of title-winning standard.
📊 Chelsea Form and Stats
Chelsea entered the 2023/24 with major aspirations following an aggressive recruitment drive and the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino, though they have been painfully inconsistent this term, averaging just 1.51 points per game so far.
Still, Chelsea have been emerging from their chaotic performances with better results over the past two months and their competitive display in their 1-0 FA Cup semi-final loss to Man City on Saturday, highlighting the rising confidence levels in their ranks.
The Blues had put an eight-match unbeaten streak together before their narrow defeat to City at Wembley, which was their longest stretch of the season so far without a defeat.
Those eight fixtures were packed to bursting with action, averaging a staggering 5.12 goals per 90 minutes, while only Newcastle’s (3.78) Premier League matches have seen more goals than Chelsea’s (3.65) on average overall.
Interestingly, Chelsea rank 5th for xGF (60.7) and 4th for xGA (46.2) this season, while some models also position them in 5th for expected points, which suggests their late rally up the actual table was overdue.
The Blues have also shaped up well against the better teams this term, losing only two of their eight encounters with Man City, Liverpool, Tottenham, and Arsenal since August.
Chelsea have struggled to keep things tight on the road however, as evidenced by a haul of just two clean sheets from 15 away matches. 60% of the Blues’ defeats this season have come on their travels, while Chelsea also have a negative goal difference (-1) after 15 away assignments.
💰 Arsenal v Chelsea Best Bets
Arsenal’s 2-0 triumph at Wolves on Saturday will have settled their nerves after a recent wobble and the Gunners – who have won 11 of their last 13 Premier League fixtures – are available at a generous price of 1.53 with bet365 to beat Chelsea on Tuesday.
The Blues have dropped points in eight of their last ten Premier League away games and that record makes them easy to oppose. There is also value on offer in the goal markets, where over 2.5 match goals is an attractive prospect at 1.50 with bet365.
Ten of Chelsea’s last 12 Premier League matches featured over 2.5 goals, while three of the last four meetings between the Blues and Arsenal also produced at least four goals, including the 2-2 draw between the sides at Stamford Bridge in October.
