For team news, form, and odds ahead of Arsenal vs Chelsea, check out our preview below. 

Team News and Form

Arsenal were stunned by Brentford in their opening Premier League match. The Gunners lost 2-0 against the Premier League new boys and struggled to create, with just four shots on target. Mikel Arteta’s side are winless in their last five after a dreadful pre-season. Chelsea produced a dominant display to defeat Crystal Palace last weekend. The Blues have won five of their last six in all competitions and lifted the UEFA Super Cup two weeks ago, beating Villareal on penalties. Arsenal forwards Alexandre Lacazette (illness), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (illness) and Edward Nketiah (ankle) are ruled out. Thomas Partey (ankle) and Gabriel (knee) are also unavailable. Chelsea will be without Ruben Loftus-Cheek (knock) and Hakim Ziyech (shoulder). N’Golo Kante could return to the squad. 

Matchwinner Betting Odds

Chelsea are the clear favourites in the match winner market due to their good form. However, Arsenal have a good record against Chelsea in recent years. The Gunners have beaten Chelsea in their last three meetings, including a 3-1 win at the Emirates last season. In fact, Chelsea have only beaten Arsenal three times in their last 14 matches in all competitions. Arsenal are currently 19/5 with BetVictor for the win, while a draw between the sides will return 17/6, provide by VBet. We are backing Chelsea to buck the recent trend and beat Arsenal in North London. Chelsea have won five of their last seven matches and look a tough side to beat. Odds of 5/6 will provide the best value for an away win this weekend, available currently with numerous bookmakers, including BetVictor and William Hill.

Win to Nil Betting Market

Recent fixtures between these sides have produced goals for Arsenal and Chelsea. Nine of the last seven in all competitions have seen both teams to score. Mansion Bet are providing decent returns for another BTTS scoreline this weekend at 21/20. But our tip this weekend is to back a Chelsea win to nil. Arsenal have failed to score in their last two matches, and they are missing their three main strikers, and Chelsea rarely came under threat against Palace. Sky Bet will return 2/1 odds for a Blues win to nil. 

Correct Score Betting Tips

There is value in the correct score market to increase winnings on a Chelsea win to nil. Thomas Tuchel’s side kept clean sheets in three of their final six away matches in the Premier League last season, and there is good value on backing a 1-0 win against Arsenal. Bet365 are offering 13/2 odds for a 1-0 Chelsea win this weekend. But Chelsea have scored two or more goals in four of their last five, and Arsenal have conceded exactly two goals in four of their last five. So, we are tipping a 2-0 Chelsea win, and BetVictor will return 17/2 for this scoreline on Sunday.  

Arsenal have stunned Chelsea in recent years. Could another upset be on the cards at the Emirates this season?
