Our Prediction for the Match
Chelsea have shown this season they are a free-flowing team and can score in a matter of seconds. Scoring seven times in their first two matches illustrates this, but Arsenal’s defense will be a tough nut to crack. Even though Chelsea have scored going forward, they have conceded five goals in these two matches, which will be a concern for Xabi Alonso.
Arsenal will be looking to capitalise on Chelsea’s suspect defence, so we expect a home win but both teams to score, with odds of 12/5.
