Chelsea vs Arsenal Betting Tips for the Winner of the London Derby

Chelsea will host their London rival, Arsenal this Sunday, the 6th of November at Stamford Bridge. In one of the most anticipated games in the Premier League, the current leaders will visit the home of the struggling Blues. The Chelsea vs Arsenal betting tips still offers similar odds for both teams’ victory. Let’s see them below. 

The North West London derby is one of the biggest games in the Premier League and it is followed by millions of fans all around the world. This Sunday the current leaders, Arsenal will play at the home of Chelsea, who are only in sixth place in the table at the moment. The Blues had a poor start to the season and sacked manager Thomas Tuchel in September. Graham Potter, the former manager of Brighton followed him on the bench. And he has been quite successful with the team, although Chelsea suffered their first defeat under his management last weekend. Now they will face a tough opponent in Arsenal who have been brilliant so far. The Gunners are top of the table, two points ahead of the defending champions, Manchester City. But winning at Stamford Bridge won’t be an easy task even for them. 

Chelsea vs Arsenal betting tips expect a tight game

Chelsea have only won half of the games so far and suffered defeats against Leeds United, Southampton, and Brighton. They lost the last game under the management of Graham Potter who left Brighton to be the new manager of the Blues. Still, Chelsea have been performing much better under their new manager. And they also qualified for the knockout stage of the Champions League. This weekend they will face top-form Arsenal though in a London derby where fans will expect a successful comeback from the home team. Online sportsbooks in the UK slightly favor Chelsea to win the match. They offer the odds of 2.55 for a home victory. 

But they need to improve a lot in both defense and attack in order to get the three points. Edouard Mendy is likely to return to the goal but Wesley Fofana, Kalidou Koulibaly, Reece James, and N’golo Kante are still out due to injuries. But with Thiago Silva, Cesar Azpilicueta, and Marc Cucurella, their defense is still strong. Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz have scored the most goals so far with four, but they need to get sharper this time. A former Arsenal striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubemayang can also play a key part in the offense. As his smallest odds of scoring any time in the game (3.00) also suggests. The Chelsea vs Arsenal betting tips also expect goals from both teams and offer the odds of 1.667 for that. 

Can the Gunners continue their great run?

Arsenal haven’t started the season so well as now for a very long time now. They won 10 out of 12 games, besides one draw and one loss. They are leading the Premier League two points ahead of Manchester City. While their next opponent, Chelsea are 10 points behind them. Arsenal suffered their only defeat against Manchester United, but they managed to win against both Tottenham Hotspurs and Liverpool. Mikel Arteta’s team is also through to the last 16 in the Champions League confidently with four wins and one defeat. So the North London club will arrive in a good mood after their latest 5-0 victory against Nottingham Forest. 

Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, and Gabriel Martinelli all scored five goals so far. Among them, Jesus has the smallest odds (3.10) to score a goal on Sunday on online gambling sites in the UK. If he or anyone of his teammates do, Arsenal can also win the game. Their odds to do so are 2.65. Interestingly lots of matches between the two teams ended with the guests’ win like their last game at Stamford Bridge this April. Then Arsenal won 4-2 with the brace of Eddie Nketiah who might come in as a substitute this time. Unlike another goal scorer from that match, Emile Smith Rowe who has been injured. Still, the team looks very focused and can beat Chelsea again. To have over 2.5 goals in the 90 minutes is very likely and has an of 1.85. on 888sport.
