Arsenal vs Chelsea Prediction 3 January 2018
On January 3 2018 at 19:45 in the upcoming main game of the 22nd game week of the English Premier League at the Emirates Stadium the London Derby will be played between Arsenal and Chelsea.
Arsenal are one of the teams who unexpectedly lose points during the current boxing-day period. In the latest match they didn’t manage to gain three points as they drew West Bromwich 1:1 and both of the goals were scored by the players of West Bromwich. Arsenal have already gained 38 points in their matches already played which let them tale the 5th place in the table 6 points below their closest rivals.
The current champions of England Chelsea are now competing for the second position in the table and we are ready to say that as Manchester City are already 14 points above them. In the latest match Chelsea showed brilliant performance as they outplayed Stoke City 5:0 at home. That victory was the second one in a row for Chelsea and the 14th one in their 21 matches played since the start of the championship. Yet, we shouldn’t forget that Chelsea have already played four away games since November 25 where they drew Liverpool 1:1, Everton 0:0, lost to West Ham 1:0 and outplayed Huddersfield 1:3.
The teams have already played five games against each other during the year 2017 where Chelsea won twice while Arsenal won twice and the teams drew once without scoring a single goal. Arsenal are playing at home this time it’s the only reason why they may actually have some advantage. Still we think that the visitors will manage to avoid a loss this time.
