In the run-up to the anniversary derby, both teams messed up their dress rehearsal. Chelsea lost 1-0 away to Newcastle on Saturday, while the Gunners could not get past a 1-1 draw against promoted Sheffield United at home.
Despite the recent defeat at Chelsea against Arsenal, the bookmakers’ odds are heading towards the home side, who just won the first leg at the Emirates Stadium 2-1 on December 29, 2019.
A match that plays a role in the prediction against Chelsea against Arsenal, although many numbers also speak for the Gunners. The Arteta squad have always scored at least two goals in three of the last four games against the Blues and have only lost three of the last twelve away games.
In four of the last five away games, the Gunners also played a draw, which is why the value for this betting option in the 200th London Derby is very high. Accordingly, at Chelsea we recommend Arsenal Tip X.
Chelsea – Statistics & current form
When the Blues lost 1-0 away at Newcastle United on Saturday, it was the eighth defeat of the season in the Premier League. A remarkably high number that indicates that there was already a lot of shade in the 2019/20 season.
Conversely, there is also a lot of light, because with only three draws there are already twelve league wins, which in total is enough for fourth place in the current table of the Premier League. The minimum goal would be reached and the blues would be allowed to compete in the Champions League again for the 2020/21 season.
The fourth of the previous season is still represented there, but got a difficult draw in the draw from the round of 16 with Bayern Munich. It is all the more important that the Londoners first concentrate on their national tasks, where downright fateful weeks are imminent.
The match against the Gunners is followed by Leicester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. An absolute mammoth program that will be groundbreaking whether the team from club icon Frank Lampard can consolidate fourth place or not.
After all, there are still five points ahead of Manchester United, who, however, can quickly pass in fast-paced football with 15 game days remaining until the end of the season.
At least the bookmakers consider it very likely that Chelsea will go up against Arsenal Tip 1, with which the blues would withstand the first of the four endurance tests. This is supported by the fact that only Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are currently injured among the regular staff. The rest of the squad is available to Frank Lampard.
Including the dazzling on top of Tammy Abraham, who already scored the winning goal in the first leg with the Gunners. The 22-year-old has scored 13 goals in his last 20 games for the Blues, making him the most dangerous player. In the 200th city derby, success depends on his person.
Best goal scorers in the league:
🏆 Tammy Abraham (13 goals)
🏆 Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic (5 goals each)
Probable lineup of Chelsea:
↳ Kepa – Azpilicueta – Rüdiger – Christensen – James – Mount – Jorginho – Kanté – Willian – Abraham – Hudson-Odoi
Last games from Chelsea:
⚽️ 01/18/2020 – Newcastle vs. Chelsea 1-0 (Premier League)
⚽️ 01/11/2020 – Chelsea vs. Burnley 3-0 (Premier League)
⚽️ 01/05/2020 – Chelsea vs. Nottingham Forest 2-0 (FA Cup)

⚽️ 12/29/2019 – Arsenal vs. Chelsea 1: 2 (Premier League)
Arsenal – Statistics & current form
The Gunners have two defeats less than their city rival Chelsea after 23 games in the Premier League. Because Arsenal FC won only half as many games as the Blues – six games in total – there is currently a completely sobering tenth place in the table.
And this despite the fact that after the fifth place in the pre-season, with which they missed the qualification for the Champions League for the second time in a row, the Londoners had particularly big plans for the 2019/20 season.
The gap to fourth place is currently ten points. Should there be another bankruptcy at Stamford Bridge, the gap would increase to 13 points. By then at the latest, the red-whites should be able to tick off the envisaged return to the premier class.
The year started under Emery and Ljungberg successor Mikel Arteta so promising with a 2-0 home win over Manchester United on January 1, 2020. However, after beating Leeds in the FA Cup, the following two match days brought the disillusionment back. The Gunners again failed in the form of Crystal Palace and Sheffield United against the supposedly youngsters in the league and only scored two out of six possible points.
No wonder that at Chelsea against Arsenal the odds of the bookmakers speak against the Arteta squad, which at least has lost only three games from their last twelve away games. The Gunners are still difficult to beat, even though the killer gene is missing in the game.
All the more serious is the failure of goalie Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who after his lead at Crystal Palace flew red with a brutal foul on Max Meyer and was blocked by the FA for three games. Already against Sheffield the Gabonese, who was responsible for 14 of the Gunners’ 30 league goals, was sorely missed.
It is all the more important that players like Alexandre Lacazette or 18-year-old Gabriel Martinelli, who was successful against Sheffield, now close the gap. In fact, the Londoners shouldn’t forget to look down, where there are just seven points ahead of 18th.
A threesome in the 200th London City Derby would undoubtedly have the potential to get the season back on track. The fact that four of the last five away games of the Gunners ended in a draw speaks for a point win.
Anyway, Arsenal FC are the draw king of the Premier League with eleven draws from 23 league games. The team from Mikel Arteta would not really get off the mark with this result.
Best goal scorers in the league:
🏆 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (14 goals)
🏆 Alexandre Lacazette (5 goals)
Arsenal probable lineup:
↳ Leona – Saka – Luiz – Mustafi – Maitland-Niles – Xhaka – Torreira – Martinelli – Özil – Pépé – Lacazette
Last games from Arsenal:
⚽️ 01/18/2020 – Arsenal vs. Sheffield United 1-1 (Premier League)
⚽️ 01/11/2020 – Crystal Palace vs. Arsenal 1-1 (Premier League)
⚽️ 01/06/2020 – Arsenal vs. Leeds United 1-0 (FA Cup)
⚽️ 01/01/2020 – Arsenal vs. Manchester United 2-0 (Premier League)
⚽️ 12/29/2019 – Arsenal vs. Chelsea 1: 2 (Premier League)

Key facts – Chelsea vs Arsenal tips
⭐️ Chelsea just won 2-1 away in the first leg on December 29, 2019
⭐️ Arsenal have drawn in four of their last five away games
⭐️ Chelsea scored just four points from their last three league games against Newcastle, Burnley and Brighton
The fact that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is missing from Stamford Bridge is definitely a factor that increases the chances of victory for the home side. Still, we think it is a little more sustainable to play against Arsenal Tip X at Chelsea.
After all, the Lampard squad lacked the final punch against the teams from the lower half of the table, to which the Gunners are currently one. The Blues won just four points from their last games against Newcastle, Burnley, Brighton and Southampton.
For that against the city rival point number five, Chelsea against Arsenal have odds of up to 4.20. Because bets on the division of points are sometimes difficult to hit, the stake should not exceed two units.
