Chelsea will host Arsenal in the London Derby at Stamford Bridge in London on 13th May at 00:45 IST. Chelsea are the clear favorites to win the match according to the odds and are just one win away from sealing a top four finish. While Arsenal will be playing for pride.

Teams Status

After making it to the Champions League finals, they will be looking to seal the top four finish when they face Arsenal. They are currently in the third position with 64 points from 35 matches including 18 wins, ten draws and just seven losses. They have the fifth best home record in the league with eight wins and six draws in the 17 matches that they have played on home turf. In the 35 matches that they have played in the league, they have scored as many as 55 goals and have conceded 32 goals. Mason Mount, Jorginho, Tammy Abraham and Timo Werner are leading the goal scoring list for Chelsea with six goals each. Werner also has eight assists to his name and is the team’s leading assist provider. Tuchel is likely to stick to the same winning combination that beat Manchester City, but they will be without Andreas Christensen and Mateo Kovacic.

Arsenal on the other hand have been knocked out of the Europa League by Villarreal and have nothing to play for in the remainder of the season as they are placed in ninth position of the Premier League points table with 52 points from 35 matches including 15 wins, seven draws and 13 losses in the league. They have the seventh-best away record with eight wins, three draws and six losses in the 17 matches that they have played on the road, accumulating 27 points in the process. They have scored as many as 49 goals and have conceded 38 goals. Alexandre Lacazette is the leading goal scorer for the team with 13 goals and he is well supported by his strike partner Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang witj 10 goals. Arteta could stick with the same playing XI that won against West Brom but he will be without the likes of Pablo Mari, David Luiz and Granit Xhaka.

Tipster’s Angel

Chelsea are in the virtue of finishing in the top four and could seal their spot with a win here and also they have an edge over Arsenal as they are in better form than Arsenal. Also, it could be a low scoring game with under 2.5 goals in them.

Tip: Chelsea To Win @ 1.73

In the last five head to head matches, it’s even-steven as Chelsea and Arsenal have both won two matches each and the other match ended in a draw. In the last three head to head matches played at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea has won two and the other ended in a stalemate. In the last ten matches played across competitions, Chelsea has won seven, drew two and lost just one match which was in the Champions League. Arsenal on the other hand have won four, drew three and lost three matches. Chelsea are unbeaten in their last four home matches including three wins and a draw. So, it is very likely that Chelsea will emerge victorious against Arsenal at 1.73 odds available at the Dafabet sportsbook.

Tip: Total Goals Under 2.5 @ 1.77

Despite the fact that these two teams have produced some high scoring thrillers over the years but Chelsea is a way different team under Tuchel. In the last eight matches that Chelsea has played across competitions, under 2.5 goals were scored in seven of those matches. Also, under 2.5 goals were scored in eight of those matches. In the last six matches that Arsenal has played, under 2.5 goals were scored in four of those matches. Also, in the last five home matches that Chelsea has played, under 2.5 goals were scored in all of those matches. So, by considering these facts, this could be a low scoring game with under 2.5 goals scored at 1.77 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

With West Ham United dropping points against Everton, Chelsea have almost sealed a top four finish and also with Leicester losing to Newcastle, Chelsea could finish third on the table. Arsenal on the other hand would want to finish on a high.
